Hi Andrei,

It is not just mLastGetChar but mHaveDbcn also will have the same issue
with XIP. So, I am wondering why not probe for the extension in every write
for the SecPei case? I understand the performance concerns but does it really
matter for debug output? I believe it is minor compared to the
flexibility it provides for not having a fixed serial port
implementation.

Thanks,
Sunil
