On some boards, serial devices may or may not be muxed properly to actual pins, depending on firmware configuration. To determine whether we should use a serial device for U-Boot in-/output, we need to check whether it is muxed properly.
This is something only the board file can do, so let's expose a weak function that a board can override to explicitly allow or disallow usage of certain serial devices.
