Otherwise I won't be able to use RATP over the FIFO-based console. This patch fixes a segfault happening in barebox sandbox when the input-only console receives a request to switch to RATP mode, it ends up crashing afterwards when the SYN/ACK response is to be sent via the non-existent output path.

Can we add a test for the existence of cdev->getc and cdev->putc in
barebox_ratp() instead? It makes it more explicit that the ratp code
needs this and also works when somebody cally barebox_ratp() directly.
