Nothing breaks if I drop it. I think it's a future-proof clause, especially
if you consider that the devicetree could be not easy to upgrade and you
may need a way to differentiate the bcm476x's implementation from the
common one. I'm not sure it's an actual requirement with use cases.

If I can assume that the boot loader will configure and enable only the
console port, I could use the first one in such state.

Where could I place such detection, in the maco addruart itself?

Are you saying that the detection should happen always or only in this
last else branch, which actually should be impossible?
