I'm fine with doing that, but it means that people who will keep their
current .config that has CONFIG_DEBUG_MVEBU_UART=y will suddenly see
their earlyprintk use 0xf1 instead of 0xd0. So in terms of kconfig
backward compatibility, it's not the nicest thing, but if you believe
that's ok, I'll change the patch as you proposed.

Best regards,

Thomas
