Great, I've tested this on top of the other 4 and the boot console is
working now.  I will resend the patch with my signoff.

(I wonder if UART0 has similar address problems on the ZC702 if it is
selected as the boot console... but this is harder to test as AFAIK it's
not connected to anything on this board by default, but it could in
principle be connected to something in the PL.  We can cross that bridge
if and when we get to it, I guess).

Yup, looks good.
