Description:
    UART register contents: timeout=0 rxfifo_level=56, should be timeout=10 rxfifo_level=56
    minicom prints 56 symbols at a time when rxfifo reaches its level.
    remembers all typed symbols
    sometimes the timeout register is set correctly
Possible reason:
    In driver .startup and .termios conflict? Racing Resets or reset takes time?
Solution:
    Added a delay after reset - some other functions in the driver also have it - some not. Luck?

    Bad network cable? Network problem?

• U-boot spl reads u-boot-dtb.img 2 times

Description:
    Not an issue - prints "reading u-boot-dtb.img" 2 times. "Very Annoying","Every microsecond counts"!
