How about:

if (!of_find_property(np, "soft-uart", NULL))
    return 0;

of_property_read_bool() if anything. But I didn't want to do that kind
of transformation - just a pure "move this code out and fix the
indentation" with the minor edits needed to hook it back up where it
came from.

And I think you should be able to get rid of the "soft_uart" variable.

Eh, no, it's used in several other places in the driver. I kind of hope
gcc is smart enough to see that in the !PPC32 case it is a static,
never-assigned-to, never-escapes variable so all the "if (soft_uart)"
branches go away, but that's not really very important.
