Err.. no.  On my system legacy_serial doesn't touch the ports, but I'm
getting console output via of_serial just fine.  The console is
initialized rather later than would be ideal, but it works.

I know that BenH has expressed the strong preference that
legacy_serial should be reverted to only handling legacy ISA ports,
not SoC and other hardwired ports.

Ok, my impression on this was that of_serial is the right solution
in general, but it often gets initialized too late to debug some
of the interesting parts of the boot sequence.

Unless we take handling of soc serial ports completely out of
legacy_serial, I think it should handle ebony just like the other
boards.

Well, Ben has said to me that he'd like to remove handling of SoC
serial ports (indeed everything excepy legacy ISA) from
legacy_serial.c.
