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 consolePress 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.

This looks reasonable from a first glance, but please can you

on -master ?

Does this affect eficonfig menu ? I was having some intermittent trouble about the eficonfig menu quitting suddenly before this patch. With this fix applied it's no worse but maybe better, I tried for some minutes to reproduce the previous behaviour and was not able to make the glitch happen.
I don't have efi environment to test. But I do see this function be called in eficonfig.c (eficonfig_choice_change_boot_order). So I believe this will affect eficonfig menu.
