tools: kwboot: Make kwboot more robust on a38x
This patch accomplishes 2 things to make the kwboot procedure on the a38x more reliable. 1) We fill the tty with 1K of the magic bootparam. This helps with the timing of where the microcode picks up in the read of the line to ensure we actually catch the break to go into recovery mode 2) Before starting the xmodem transfer we sleep for 2 seconds and then flush the line. This allows all the magic bootparam to be flushed from the line and makes the xmodem transfer reliable and removes the Bad message failures.
