This makes the ath79 bootconsole behave the same way as the generic 8250
bootconsole.
Also waiting for TEMT (transmit buffer is empty) instead of just THRE
(transmit buffer is not full) ensures that all characters have been
transmitted before the real serial driver starts reconfiguring the serial
controller (which would sometimes result in garbage being transmitted.)
This change does not cause a visible performance loss.
In addition, this seems to fix a hang observed in certain configurations on
many AR7xxx/AR9xxx SoCs during autoconfig of the real serial driver.
A more complete follow-up patch will disable 8250 autoconfig for ath79
altogether (the serial controller is detected as a 16550A, which is not
fully compatible with the ath79 serial, and the autoconfig may lead to
undefined behavior on ath79.)

The patch allows to see kernel messages on the
QCA955X SoCs in early boot stage.

The AR933X SoCs are using a different UART, thus require
different code for early printk support.

This patch adds initial support for various Atheros SoCs based on the
MIPS 24Kc core. The following models are supported at the moment:
- AR7130
- AR7141
- AR7161
- AR9130
- AR9132
- AR7240
- AR7241
- AR7242
The current patch contains minimal support only, but the resulting
kernel can boot into user-space with using of an initramfs image on
various boards which are using these SoCs. Support for more built-in
devices and individual boards will be implemented in further patches.
