"3684-TI AM335X IA EVM" is required as IA EVM uses a different UART,
because of which early prints can't be captured, problem mentioned

Note: Paul advised to post to linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org,
but it never made to LAKML, even though I sent couple of times and got
a reply "Is being held until the list moderator can review it for
approval. The reason it is being held: Message has a suspicious header"
