addruart is now expected to return two values, and 'tmp' ends up being
misleading.  This is a recipe for mistakes unless this is corrected.
It should be 'rp, rv' instead of 'rx, tmp'.
Also, it is probably not a good idea to return nothing. Otherwise the
code using those macros will then work on random values that just
happened to be in the corresponding register at the call location.
Should we have something in generic arm code that allows this to just be
turned off? Ideally we don't want any of this stuff even running.
If you don't want it, don't enable DEBUG_LL.  DEBUG_LL is what you
enable for initial board bring-up and once you're getting kernel
messages via standard console drivers, you disable it.
This board doesn't have the ability to support DEBUG_LL .. I don't want
the user to have the option to even select that.
But do not leave this function empty otherwise if you
enable DEBUG_LL, you'll get unpredictable behaviour.

With DEBUG_LL enabled and if all the 3 macros (addruart, senduart, waituart) are empty
nothing references these values - so wouldn't this be okay?
All that you'll then have is a temporary mapping which is torn-down
when the kernel initializes the page tables properly.
