No problem to do it for putc but for getc?
What would you like to return if there is no character available?

If generic code always checked if there is any character available through tstc
and then call getc I can keep there just reading buffer but from my test I see that
it doesn't do that.

Please point me to any existing u-boot serial driver which does it in way you like.
I wasn't able to find it out.

Thanks,
Michal
