Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 1/2] arm: npcm: add low-level debug support for NPCM7XX

When playing with the Poleg boards at the recent OpenBMC hackathon
Jeremy discovered that the UART is a normal-ish 8250, with a custom
divisor and a few extra bits to be set.

I found that we can us the generic 8250 low level debugging support
just fine. This is because u-boot sets up the divisor settings for us
(as you've assumed with your version here), and from there it's just
reading/writing characters.

Assuming you can reproduce our results, I suggest we drop these
patches in favour of adding the correct configuration the Poleg.

Cheers,

Joel
