Ok, I'm still a little confused, but it sounds to me like your patch 
should have also removed sbsa_uart_probe().

With your patches applied, under what circumstance would 
sbsa_uart_probe() still be called?  The amba-pl011.c driver already 
probes on ARMH0011, so shouldn't that be removed, to avoid a double probe?
