Dear Simon Glass,
In message 1332188824-5447-3-git-send-email-sjg@chromium.org you wrote:
Allow boards to call the tegra_setup_uarts() function so that they can set up UARTs on demand. The UART selection enum is moved into the board.h header file so that boards can use this for pre-console panic.
I dislike this. This is broken by design.
Even if the could would work today, it would break as soon as we switch to using a clean device model.
Don't do that, you are opening a can of worms that cannot be closed easily, and you don't do yourself a favour with it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
