Hello,
I tested with an Beagleboard which is another OMAP3 board that has the same PC16550D UART than my OMAP3 IGEPv2 and the board does not hang while waiting for TEMT. I've also tested with an OMAP4 pandaboard and it boots correctly too.
But the hung issue seems to not be an issue with my IGEPv2 board but with any IGEPv2 board since another user reported that his board hangs with the latest U-Boot too. Reverting cb55b332 (serial/ns16550: wait for TEMT before initializing) solved the issue for him.
Will a patch like this be an acceptable solution?

Probably better to have your board config file define CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT or similar (and document the symbol in README).
