Just for the record, Arnd has the right idea. There is only one type of UART permitted by SBSA (PL011). We carved out an exception for a design that was already in flight and allowed it to be 16550. That other design was then corrected in future generations to be PL011 as we required it to be. Then there's the Hip06. I've given feedback elsewhere about the need for there to be (at most) two types of UART in the wild. This "LPC" stuff needs cleaning up (feedback given elsewhere already on that), but we won't be adding a third serial driver into the mix in order to make it work. There will be standard ARM servers. There will not be the kinda-sorta-standard. Thanks.
