I agree with both sides of dispute. It's a hardware bug but GRUB has
reliability and unattended boot as one of its goals. And this noise can
be detected. Noise is likely to have two neighbouring bits equal (due to
noise not being on the same frequency as serial speed) and unlikely to
produce a lot of valid characters. I propose to buffer serial input for
200/speed seconds and after this period do a small analysis and in case
of bad data discard the whole buffer.
