Yeah, sci_probe_regmap() assumed the wrong regtype for your TYPE_SCIF
port. You needed an OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() line that also filled in
the correct regtype.
BTW, it would have been very valuable to know that earlycon didn't work, as that
would have helped in avoiding the earlycon breakage on other parts.
