There were some instances in my previous series.  I think they were
mostly one-liners.

I would hope that the LL debug stuff can eventually be tidied up so that
we can choose the right UART via the DT.  But that's really a wishlist
thing.  Until (or unless) that happens, I guess code such as the above
should be fine.

If as you rightly point out, this stuff is only here temporarily, then
I don't have a strong view on it.

If there will be no reason every to have macros for those addresses,
then it's true that adding them only to remove them later will cause
needless churn.
