I don't know any more how many versions of this driver are circulating,
we may have some options.

I think it is valuable, multi-platform doesn't have any DEBUG_LL or
earlyprintk support and your patch solves the problem though it won't
work transparently on multiple boards at the same time, which is not
a requirement.

To my understanding Nico was complaining for the specific Tegra (and TI)
abuse, not the general approach.

Yes, of course :)
