This patch removes the code that touched UART_FCR, from
console_core_putc(). The check for whether transmit FIFO is
full is sufficient before writing to UART TX FIFO. In fact
setting UARTFCR_TXCLR immediately after a byte is written to
FIFO might even result in loss of that byte, if UART hasn't
sent that byte out yet.

It is needed to add placeholders for this function because, as this is
not a `plat_xxx()` function, there aren't weak definitions of it in any
file.

If `console_flush()` is used and there isn't an implementation of
`console_core_flush()` in any file, the compilation will fail.

tbz check for RDR status is to check for a bit being zero.
Unfortunately, we are using a mask rather than the bit position.

Further as per http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pc16550d.pdf

 (page 17),
LSR register bit 0 is Data ready status (RDR), not bit position 2.

Update the same to match the specification.

This patch moves the various assembly console drivers
into `aarch64` architecture specific folder. Stub files,
which include files from new location, are retained at the
original location for platform compatibility reasons.

This patch adds driver for the 16550 UART interface. The driver is exposed
as a console, which platforms can use to dump their boot/crash logs.

Separate out the common console functionality in
`drivers/arm/pl011/pl011_console.S` into a new source file
`drivers/console/console.S`. The former includes the latter to
provide backwards compatibility for platform make files.

Also add a skeleton console implementation for platforms that do not
want to use PL011.

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.

To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.

The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

This patch adds baud rate and UART clock frequency as parameters
to the pl011 driver api console_init(). This allows each platform
to specify UART clock and baud rate according to their specific
hardware implementation.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#215

This patch replaces the pl011 console family of functions
with their equivalents defined in assembly. The baud rate is
defined by the PL011_BAUDRATE macro and IBRD and FBRD values
for pl011 are computed statically. This patch will enable
us to invoke the console functions without the C Runtime Stack.
