Strange, because these changes are not even in 3.3. Did you mean 3.4

The uap->port is likely the problem. The clock does not need to be
enabled for this, the clock that need to be enabled is the pclk and that
should be taken care of by the amba/primecell core.

It worked because I had some system which didn't scream when it wrote
into that NULL-address for some reason :-(

I'm sending a fixup patch to sort out my own screwing up.
