/me scratches head wondering how this has been working so far on the
systems tested.. Looks like we've been lucky and the omap_uart_virt
and phys have been initialized twice to different memory addresses,
first with MMU off then on.

For the run-time phys_offset, can we use the same logic here and
set it based on the PC?

That might cover the most typical debug cases, but is not available
right from the start.

What if we initialize the low level debug functions in some static
memory location already in uncompress.h? That would help sorting
out the debug-macro.S issue from compiling in multile ARM archs
point of view.
