There are chances a denial-of-service attack, if an attacker
removes the SPE firmware from the system. The console driver
would end up waiting for the firmware to respond indefinitely.
The console driver must detect such scenarios and uninit the
interface as a result.

This patch adds a timeout to the interaction with the SPE
firmware and uninits the interface if it times out.

This patch udpates the SPE console driver to prepend '\r' to
'\n'. This fixes the alignment of prints seen by the host
machines on their UART ports.

Tested by collecting the logs from host PC using Cutecom

There are Tegra platforms which have limited UART ports and so
all the components have to share the console. The SPE helps out
by collecting all the logs in such cases and prints them on the
shared UART port.

This patch adds a driver to communicate with the SPE driver, which
in turn provides the console.
