This shouldn't be needed. barebox will automatically add
console=ttymxc0,115200 to the kernel command line when
this UART is used as console in barebox.

This results in "0" being passed to the kernel command line. You
probably want to have "consoleblank=0", right?

I applied the series with these two things fixed. Is that ok for you?
