Not a problem with this patch but it would be great if there was a
comment here (and probably in geni_se_select_fifo_mode() too) indicating
why GENI_SE_UART is special. Is it because GENI_SE_UART doesn't use the
main sequencer? I think that is the reason, but I forgot and reading
this code doesn't tell me that.
Splitting the driver in this way where the logic is in the geni wrapper
and in the engine driver leads to this confusion.
