        Loopback mode: When the UART is in loopback mode, all characters
        written to the Transmit-buffer is imidiately received in the
        Receive-buffer. This can be used for testing purposes. Note:
        Characters written to the transmit-buffer is not send. Nor is
        anything received from remote.

        Bit 2 and 3 is directly connected to the OUT1 and OUT2 pins on
        the UART. On the PC, OUT1 is not used.
