Hi,

This device tree stuff sounds like very cool way of doing things. Hope
it is ready soon :)

Meanwhile, would it be OK to implement something to get the serial driver
taking control of the all the UARTs? Any comments on adding new function
to mach-omap2/serial.c: omap_serial_init_port(int port) that could be
used from board files instead of omap_serial_init()?

Thanks,
MW
