What are you running it in the firmware?  It defaults to 9600 8n1,
unless you pass it another speed (console=ttyS0,38400 for example).

make prpmc800_config

And then fixup
arch/ppc/platforms/prpmc800_setup.c::prpmc800_openpic_initsenses
(iirc, '1' -> IRQ_SENSE_LEVEL | IRQ_POLARITY_NEGATIVE.  But grab the
