It's observed that the bootmenu on a serial console sometimes incorrectly quitted with superfluous characters filled to command line input:
> *** U-Boot Boot Menu *** > > 1. Startup system (Default) > 2. Upgrade firmware > 3. Upgrade ATF BL2 > 4. Upgrade ATF FIP > 5. Load image > 0. U-Boot console > > > Press UP/DOWN to move, ENTER to select, ESC to quit >MT7988> [B Analysis shows it was caused by the wrong logic of bootmenu_loop: At first the bootmenu_loop received the first ESC char correctly. However, during the second call to bootmenu_loop, there's no data in the UART Rx FIFO. Due to the low baudrate, the second char of the down array key sequence hasn't be fully received. But bootmenu_loop just did a mdelay(10), and then treated it as a single ESC key press event. It didn't even try tstc() again after the 10ms timeout. This patch fixes this issue by letting bootmenu_loop check tstc() twice.
