There are two different UARTs on the i.MX23/28, the duart ends up as
ttyAMAx in the kernel, the auart as ttyAPPx. Both drivers honor the
alias in the device tree. The upstream dtsi has:
serial0 = &auart0;
serial1 = &auart1;
serial2 = &auart2;
serial3 = &auart3;
serial4 = &auart4;
With this we can't assign an alias to the duart anymore, serial0 is
already used. We could add a serial5 alias, but then we would get
ttyAMA5 instead of the desired ttyAMA0.
barebox tries to get an alias for the duart to set the proper console=
string for it. Now Michael changes the serial0 alias from &auart0 to
&duart. With this barebox can assign the correct console= string. Would
Linux be started with this device tree, &auart0 would still end up with
ttyAPP0 because it's the first free one.
This looks awful, but works for now. We are open for better suggestions
;)
