Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot your distro.
With this, a timeout is created. After a number of seconds,
which can be reconfigured, the first option selected will be booted,
when generating a bootflow menu.
The timeout is disabled when you navigate the menu; it only
kicks in if you don't input anything on the keyboard.
More information about how this works is in the U-Boot patches,
within this patch. I've set the timeout to 8 seconds.

Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot, which is unacceptable
for headless operation.
Pressing anything other than enter an an option, such as the arrow
keys, will disable the timeout.

This is a patch from Simon Glass. U-Boot clears the display
when it starts up, but was asking the VESA driver to do the
same, needlessly; this patch avoids the latter.
A further patch is also included, which provides a better
message when jumping into long mode on the SPL (64-bit) target,
dumping it on the serial console instead of using printf.

U-Boot was hanging on hardware, but not Qemu. This is because on
the machines tested, namely the X200 and E6230 laptops supported
in Libreboot, the UART was disabled from coreboot.
This U-Boot patch from Simon Glass works around the issue by
silently disabling the UART when it isn't there. Instead,
output is sent to the display and U-Boot no longer hangs.
