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.

When kwboot is attached to a terminal which disappears such as one
connected via an unplugged USB cable, read() returns 0, making kwboot
loop until a key is pressed in the terminal. The only case where read()
may return 0 here is when the terminal is closed anyway, so let's
properly handle this one and report is similar to other errors.

Commit 84899e2 ("tools/kwboot: Sync with latest barebox version to
support Armada XP") accidently broke the terminal-only mode (-t) by
removing the test on the bootmsg. Thus even when trying to use kwboot
as a plain terminal, it asks to reboot the target.
This commit simply reintroduces the lost test so that it is possible
again to use kwboot to attach to the target system's console.

Commit 94084eea3b ("tools: kwbimage: Fix dest addr") changed kwbimage
to do this adjustment. So now the adjustment in kwboot is not needed
(and would prevent UART booting for images generated by the new
kwbimage). Remove the destaddr adjustment in kwboot.

Commit f4db6c976c ("arm: mvebu: Add runtime detection of UART (xmodem)
boot-mode") added a change to hdr->destaddr when dynamically patching an
image for UART boot mode. With this change, kwboot ceases to work on
Kirkwood.
Thus, let's change hdr->destaddr only when we are patching an image with
header version 1 (Orion and Kirkwood use header version 0).

Add command-line specification of xmodem timeout. If the binary
header needs to take a while to do something (e.g. DDR ECC
scrubbing), the xmodem transfer can time out. Add a configurable
xmodem block timeout to allow transfers with slow binary headers
to succeed.

Usage text was getting unwieldy and somewhat incorrect. The
usage summary implied that some options were mutually exclusive
(e.g. -q or -s). Clean up the summary to just include the
important ones, and include a generic "[OPTIONS]" instead.

This patch adds runtime detection of the Marvell UART boot-mode (xmodem
protocol). If this boot-mode is detected, SPL will return to the
BootROM to continue the UART booting.
With this patch its now possible, to generate a U-Boot image that
can be booted either from the strapped boot-device (e.g. SPI NOR, MMC,
etc) or via the xmodem protocol from the UART. In the UART case,
the kwboot tool will dynamically insert the UART boot-device type
into the image. And also patch the load address in the header, so
that the mkimage header will be skipped (as its not expected by the
Marvell BootROM).
This simplifies the development for Armada XP / 38x based boards.
As no special images need to be generated by selecting the
MVEBU_BOOTROM_UARTBOOT Kconfig option.
Since the Kconfig option MVEBU_BOOTROM_UARTBOOT is not needed any
more, its now completely removed.

Currently, kwboot only allows dynamic UART boot mode patching for SoCs
with header version 0 (Orion, Kirkwood). This patch now enables this "-p"
feature also for SoCs with header version 1 (Armada XP / 38x etc). With
this its possible now to use the UART boot mode without on images that
are generated for other boot devices, like SPI. So no need to change
BOOT_FROM to "uart" for UART xmodem booting any more.

To support the Armada 38x, new values for the request-delay and the
response-timeout are needed. As the values already implemented in
this tool (for Kirkwood and Armada XP) don't seem to work here.
To make this more flexible, lets add make those 2 parameters
configurable via the cmdline. Here the new parameters:
-q <req-delay>: use specific request-delay
-s <resp-timeo>: use specific response-timeout
For the Marvell DB-88F6820 these values are known to work:
One board:
-q 2 -s 1
2nd board:
-q 5 -s 5
So this seems to be even board specific. But with this patch now
those values can be specified and tested via the cmdline.

The barebox version of the kwboot tool has evolved a bit. To support
Armada XP and Dove. Additionally a few minor fixes have been applied.
So lets sync with the latest barebox version.
Please note that the main difference between both versions now is, that
the U-Boot version still supports the -p option, to dynamically patch
an image for UART boot mode. I didn't test it now though.
