I was updating a sbc8560 from u-boot v1.2.0 to git-current, and found
that I'd loose the kernel serial console when the 8250 driver took over
from udbg0 when using u-boot 1.3.x (booting via tftp'ing the dtb and
the uImage separately)
I eventually tracked it down to mpc85xx/fdt.c stomping on the contents
of the UART clockrate in the dtb. Since the sbc8560 is sort of
different -- in that it has external UARTs (instead of SOC/CPM), I'm
guessing few other boards see this problem, because bi_busfreq is
really their correct UART clk.
I fixed it with this simple patch, but I was wondering whether it would
be better to alternatively just check if the dtb value is zero, and
then only insert a value; otherwise leave it alone...
Paul.
