2017-11-17serial: nulldev: Implement "pending" function to fix tstc return "true"Wilson Lee
In U-boot, serial_tstc was use to determine is there have a character in serial console that pending for read. If there is no "pending" function implemented in serial driver, the serial-uclass will return "true(1)" to indicate there have a character pending to read. Thus, read a character from nulldev serial will result in continuous getting -EAGAIN return which might lead system to hang. This commit is to fix a bug in nulldev serial which implement "pending" function in nulldev serial to always indicate there is no character in console that pending for read.

2017-09-13serial: nulldev: Add nulldev serial driverKeng Soon Cheah
Some device the serial console's initialization cannot run early during the boot process. Hence, nulldev serial device is helpful on that situation. For example, if the serial module was implemented in FPGA. Serial initialization is prohibited to run until the FPGA was programmed. This commit is to adding nulldev serial driver. This will allows the default console to be specified as a nulldev.
