[RFC PATCH 15/15] ARM: uncompress: Add documentation

[Zoltan Devai]

Short description for mach maintainters on how to use the
ucuart driver. It is in-line in the print.c file, as they will
probably look there for any compile/link errors caused by
their decompressor UART setup.

+/* UART usage before kernel start:
+ * The files in this directory allow the boot of a self-extracting kernel
+ * image. As the kernel itself is compressed, this is a separate environment
+ * and thus needs a separate UART driver to communicate with the outside.
+ * Machines have multiple ways for providing this UART driver in their
+ * uncompress.h files:
+ *
+ * a) If your UART is compatible with a standard 8250 or AMBA01X port,
+ *    call one of the below ucuart_8250/amba01x setup routines from the
+ *    function "static inline void arch_decomp_setup(void)", that
+ *    resides in the uncompress.h file.
+ * b) If your UART is not a standard one, but still an MMIO one, that
+ *    has at least a direct register for TX, use the generic ucuart_init()
+ *    function.
+ * c) If your UART is too complicated for these simple routines, or you
+ *    rather want to use a framebuffer, provide your own putc(), flush() and
+ *    arch_decomp_setup() functions and #define ARCH_UCUART_NONGENERIC
+ *    in your header file.
+ * d) You can supply the description of the UART in a device tree blob that
+ *    is passed to the kernel.
+ *    (Not yet: In this case, you may omit the uncompress.h file entirely)
