That's what I was afraid of.  Sadly, the connected peripheral doesn't 
respond well to the break (I'm guessing it's missing it's pullups for the 
RX line).  I did try rebuilding u-boot with UART5 enabled in the hope that 
it would get configured sooner, but it appears the break happens 
immediately at power up before *anything* has happened.

I shall try a 10K pulllup on the TX line.

Thanks for the feedback!
