Dear Stephen Warren,

This seems reasonable in the interim while we are hard-coding things but needing more flexibility. How do you plan to configure the actual address - is it with the ODM data or FDT?
I intend to use the ODMDATA. This already includes a field that specifies which UART to use. I'm working on some patches (to BCT-generation tools and U-Boot) that define an ODMDATA2 value, which will indicate the complete pinmux configuration required for the UART, so everything can be self-contained. I'm fairly close to publishing these patches.
Arghh... Do we really, really have to invent yet another way to pass hardware configuration information? Especially one totally incompatible to any other system?
I think I will be objecting against such an approach. Please use the device tree instead.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
