 I don't know it. The RX/TX is wired on PF2/PF4 on the board (UART0 muxed with
 MMC)
Then you don't support it and you need to disable it.

 But many codes will require a ttyS0 as console... So I think the
 bluetooth should be located at ttyS1...
Most of them would use /dev/console anyway. What do you have in mind?
As a general configuration, /dev/ttyS0 will be indicated as the default console=
value... (Otherwise more boards will fail)

Or maybe we can specify uart0 as serial0, and leave it as disabled? (Thus if the
debug port is needed, we can easily apply a overlay with &mmc0 status as disabled,
and &uart0 status as okay)

On all my A33 boards, the official boot0, u-boot all uses uart0 as debugging port.
