[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] efi_loader: Fix serial console size detection

From: Matthias Brugger <mbrugger at suse.com>

Function term_read_reply tries to read from the serial console until
the end_char was read. This can hang forever if we are, for some reason,
not be able to read the full response (e.g. serial buffer too small,
frame error). This patch moves the timeout detection into
term_read_reply to assure we will make progress.

Fixes: 6bb591f704 ("efi_loader: query serial console size reliably")
