This change (now part of 3.10-rc1) breaks the serial port on the BCM2835
ARM SoC (part of the Raspberry Pi). Sorry for not noticing this earlier;
a combination of my vacation and laziness I guess.
For reference, the AMBA periphid of the UART device there is 0x00341011.
The nibble "3" is the revision being tested in:

Should that be <= not <, or is there just something more wrong in the
patch or bcm2835 HW? I wonder how r1p5 maps to 3 in the test above.
