What would be the point of using DCC?

It seemed like ARM-Ltd.-architected peripherals were picked for the timer and
interrupt controller, so I wondered why not for the console as well. As best
I'm aware, unless one ventures into the PrimeCell line with the PL011, DCC is
the closest match for an officially architected console mechanism.

I certainly wouldn't want to mandate the presence of any devices that
require emulation in the DT for a virtual machine, including DCC, as
simple as it might be.
