I'm afraid this is needed to boot.  83xx family platforms need it to initialize early console.  And it does appear in several defconfigs of other platforms.

How so ? Why would having a serial console be mandatory ? Embedded might
want to boot without a console and use the serial port for other things.
This should be left as a config option (though you are welcome to put it
in the defconfig for your platform)
