The udbg interface is a very early kernel printk interface. I don't know what
the "u" stands for, but "dbg" is for "debug". The udbg interface is removed
once a normal console driver kicks in.
This is why I need to specify the byte channel handle via Kconfig. This code is
used so early that not even the device tree is available.
All of the udbg_putc functions do this.
