Thanks :)

Eek... "serial2 = uart3 //UART1"
I sent the following patch
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-September/227465.html
which has been accepted which switches from using UART0 (onboard) to
UART3 (LS connector). This matched up with the change made in ATF i.e. both ATF
and u-boot were then both outputting on the same UART.
So u-boot has already been migrated over.
regards,
Peter.
