[PATCH] IXP425: Changing serial port initialization sequence

On my IXP425 board (Janz emPC-A400), the first few characters of the u-boot startup message were missing.

I fixed it by enabling the UART before all other initialization.

I also enabled (and flushed) the FIFO of the UART.

The patch is against "latest" u-boot git-repository

Please (still) be patient if style of submission or patches are offending.
