Description

The issue found in FreeBSD. Note the original FreeBSD fix is slightly different, but the code idea is still the same. (and I'll fix upstream soon).

When the EFI implementation (like U-Boot) does not support WaitForKey, we can emulate efi_cons_poll(0 with a flag and caching the last key read with ReadKeyStroke. This fixes the loader.efi countdown timer on Pine64 (and other U-Boot + EFI using platforms).
