Todd Broch abc11d883c stm32: Force disconnect of UART prior to writing firmware.
For chromeos devices with the stm32 EC we write the firmware via
uart.  Often developers are connected to this UART for console I/O
which causes flash_ec to fail.

This change looks for any pids currently attached to the UART and
forcibly kills them prior to attempting to write the firmware.

BRANCH=spring
BUG=none
TEST=manual,

./util/flash_ec --board spring ...

Forcibly grabs UART from both:
  cu -l /dev/pts/<num>
  minicom -p /dev/pts/<num>

- EC Lib

This wraps Blizzard driverlib and implements the EC chip interface defined
by Google. See below diagram for architecture.

Build Options
=============

- CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HELP

	Try to detect a watchdog that is about to fire, and print a trace.
	This is needed on STM32, where the independent watchdog has no early
	warning feature and the windowed watchdog has a very short period.

- CONFIG_PANIC_HELP

	Report extra information about a panic, such as the fault address,
	here shown as bfar. This shows the reason for the fault and may help
	to determine the cause.

	=== EXCEPTION: 03 ====== xPSR: 01000000 ===========

	mmfs = 00008200, shcsr = 00000000, hfsr = 40000000, dfsr = 00000008

- CONFIG_ASSERT_HELP

	Report assertion failures in a vebose manner to aid debugging. When
	enabled an ASSERT() which fails will produce message in the form:

		ASSERTION FAILURE '<expr>' in function() at file:line

- CONFIG_CONFIGURE_BOARD_LATE

	Define this to call configure_board_late() after initial system init
	is complete (and after GPIOs are set up).

- CONFIG_AC_POWER_STATUS

	Monitor the state of the AC power input and drive out a GPIO to
	the AP indicating this state. The GPIO will be driven low when
	AC power is not connected, and high when it is connected. This
	uses GPIO_AC_STATUS for this purpose.

- CONFIG_PMU_FORCE_FET

	Force switching on and off the FETs on the PMU controlling various
	power rails during AP startup and shutdown sequences.
	This is mainly useful for bringup when we don't have the corresponding
	sequences in the AP code.

- CONFIG_KEYBOARD_TEST

	Turn on keyboard testing functionality. This enables a message which
	received a list of keyscan events from the AP and processes them.
	This will cause keypresses to appear on the AP through the same
	mechanism as a normal keyboard press.
