well, i don't want to use the second com port of the ns16550. Im using an external serial chip over EMIF.

I am not familiar with Davinci architecture and probably my case is completely different from yours but on our board we have dual uart on mpc8349 chip + external quad uart ns16554 chip connected via local bus. The current u-boot code supports up to 4 ns16550 devices, i.e. from COM1 to COM4. So I extended the serial_ports array to 6 entries and in this way got ability to communicate via COM5 and COM6.
