I still have bad dreams about the of_serial patch I did as a newbie
related to reg_shift and reg_offset ;)
I'm still a newbie, but we'll do whatever needs to be done. =
Any thoughts from Josh?

Is there really much of a chance of that, given the differences with the
bootwrappers?
Does anyone care enough about legacy_serial for this to matter? My
impression was that legacy serial was not preferred anyway...

This is an easy solution, but it is not a good one. Doing so would
break UDBG on other 405 boards when building multiplatform kernels.
It would be better to teach legacy serial about the shift and offset.
Alternately, add code to add_legacy_soc_port() to skip it if the
shift/offset properties are present.
Cheers,
