c90bb7b enabled the high speed UARTs of the Jetson TK1. The address specification inside the dts is wrong. Fix it and use the correct address.

The 0, prefix was dropped from the unit address in commit b5896f67ab3c ("ARM: tegra: Remove commas from unit addresses on Tegra124"). What's the problem that you're seeing? What's not working for you?I cannot find b5896f67ab3c neither in swarren's tree nor in linux upstream. But there's d0bc5aaf890 in swarren's linux-tegra tree that matches your described changes and was committed on 1st of July. But this patch is not upstream yet, while the other patch is.The fix is in linux-next, and will be in mainline soon I expect.
Ah okay, but I still wonder how my original patch got changed on its way... The original version on the mailinglist was not buggy.
My github linux-tegra.git isn't relevant since it's just my own personal dev branch, but for reference, the commit is there since it's based on linux-next.quoted
Have a look at mainline tegra124-jetson-tk1.dts, there the addresses are erroneous as they still use the 0, annotation. And I just realised, that somehow, upstream patch c90bb7b slightly differs from my initial patch [1] on the mailing list.Your patch should probably be CC: stable so that existing kernel versions get fixed. That said, I'd argue that since the original patch never actually had any effect since it applied to the wrong node, the best fix for stable kernels is simply to revert it rather than fixing it, to avoid the potential for behaviour changes and regressions. Starting with kernel 4.8 (I think), that patch will begin to have actual effect.
There is no current existing stable kernel that is affected, as it went in during the last merge window in 4.6-rc1. So no need for fixing stable. Maybe it's still possible to fix it as the stabilisation window is still open and 4.7 is not released yet?
