[Fuego] Prototype solution for LTP over serial test issue

[dhinakar k]

Thank you very much Tim. Iam glad that my requirement is going to help
implement another Fuego feature. I will try your solution on Monday when I
go to office and give you the feedback. I will keep trying my best to make
it work until you come back from vacation.

Regards,
Dhinakar
