If the problem is in the device trees that are being generated, we

We've been trying to avoid putting the fully specified IP versions in
the kernel like this, since
the IP changes so often.

No, the problem that Alon has is that the firmware currently has no
way whatsoever to give a correct device tree, because of-serial.c
does not even know about ns16550a.

The patch adds both a special-case for the specific uart he
is using so that one is grandfathered in and a new compatible
value so future boards can specify both ns16550a and ns16550.
