The TI Keystone SoCs have extra UART registers beyond the standard 8250
registers, so we need a new compatible string to indicate this. Also, at
least one of these registers uses the full 32 bits, so we need to specify
reg-io-width in addition to reg-shift.

"ns16550a" is left in the compatible specification since it does work as
long as the bootloader configures the SoC UART power management
registers.

NAK!!
We can't break the booting boards with existing boot loaders.

Sorry, but it not clear to me how this breaks booting with older
bootloaders? If older DTB is ROM'ed, it will continue to work because of
match with ns16550a.

I just verified boot on K2E with these patches applied and using 2016.05
based U-Boot from a TI release.

Thanks for test. As long as it doesn't break the boot, am fine
with it.

I suggest you to first get the driver updated to take care of
the UART PM register and then enable the support for it.

Isn't that what patch 2/4 is doing?

I see that now. Thanks for clarifying.

Serial patch needs to go via Greg's tree. I will pick up the
DTS bits.
