I can add also escape key. But has escape key stable ANSI sequence which
is needed to catch? If you tell me which bytes to catch (for escape key)
I will add it.

I understand your concerns. But all other commands catch also CTRL+C so
I think that bootmenu command should it too.

Currently "U-Boot console" option is always added to menu list. But
option is doing only one thing: exiting the current U-Boot command and
returning back to the monitor mode.

If bootmenu is not started from monitor mode then this "U-Boot console"
command just enter into monitor mode. And I think that you can already
block monitor mode and therefore has ability of this secure boot scheme.
