I see. In Arabella Linux, there is clear separation between boot and kernel and between chip-specific and board-specific code. ADS-specific file in Linux kernel is the place where the BCSR handling lives, so we've got generic SCC UART driver and perform all the initialisations (including board-specific BCSR) only when some code requests them.
Your correct, I will have the platform code for the board deal with initializing the BCSR in Linux.
Thanks
