Right, but you're still trying to do mux_get_by_name on it to check
the pads, which will produce a warning on 3630.

OK

I'll just use your first patch to remove _all_ the muxing for omap_serial_init().
That's really the only safe thing we can do for the -rc cycle.

This means we rely on bootloader settings for console muxing and wake-up
bits, but that's just what we need to live with until next merge window.

And for the next merge window, I think we should only automatically enable
the wake-up event bits if the port is in serial mode, and not do any other
muxing. Something like:

void __init omap_serial_init(void)
{
        struct omap_uart_state *uart;
        struct omap_board_data bdata;

        list_for_each_entry(uart, &uart_list, node) {
                bdata.id = uart->num;
                bdata.flags = 0;
                bdata.pads = NULL;
                bdata.pads_cnt = 0;
                omap_serial_check_wakeup(&bdata);
                omap_serial_init_port(&bdata, NULL);
        }

        omap_serial_board_init(NULL);
}

Where omap_serial_check_wakeup() just enables the wake-up if the
port is already muxed to uart mode. So it turns out we can't bail
out for unmuxed uarts because some boards use alternative pads like
2430sdp does for the first uart.
