Before, the normal altera UART driver was compiled in unconditionally and the JTAG UART was missed out.
Work around this by conditionalizing the driver to use based on the UART choice in the user's custom FPGA header file. If both were to be present, the JTAG UART would have preference.
Dear Alex,
The preference of jtag uart is not always true. Some people prefer normal uart as it doesn't require the nios2-termial program. As it could be switched easily with a #define CONFIG_ALTERA_JTAG_UART per board config file, this patch is not accepted. Thank you anyway.
Best regards, Thomas
