Select this if the UART you want to use for debug output is already
initialized by the time U-Boot starts its execution.

+ Select this if puts()/putc() might be called before the debug UART
+ has been initialized. If this is disabled, putc() might sit in a
+ tight loop if it is called before debug_uart_init() has been called.
+
+ Note that this does not work for every ns16550-compatible UART and
+ so has to be enabled carefully or you might notice lost characters.
