[PATCH] ARM: mxs: Change duart device to use amba-pl011

Hello Shawn,

The mxs duart is actually an amba-pl011 device. This commit changes
the duart device code to dynamically allocate amba-pl011 device,
so that drivers/serial/amba-pl011.c can be used on mxs.

I have problems using this.  The problem I found up to now is that
during probe of the device (triggered by mxs_add_duart ->
amba_device_register -> amba_put_disable_pclk) the uart clock is
disabled.  This happens because initially its usage count is 0 but the
clock is enabled by barebox.  clk_enable doesn't hurt, but in the
matching clk_disable the usage count drops to zero again and so the
clock is disabled in hardware.  After that no further outputs can be
seen.

I assume the machine dies with a circular exception while trying to
write something out (e.g. that it cannot write to the console :-), but I
havn't checked that.

My first try to put an clk_enable(&uart_clk) after it is registered
didn't help.

Did you face the same problem?

Best regards
Uwe
