From: Rob Herring <[email protected]> Enabling the ARM DCC console and using without a JTAG connection will simply hang the system. Since distros like to turn on all options, this is a reoccurring problem to debug. We can do better by checking if anything is attached and handling characters. There is no way to probe this, so send a newline and check that it is handled.
