Just saw this patch. Note that most other entries do not depend on a particular
SoC but instead on one of the Kconfig entries, and I would like to eventually
change all of them to be the same way.

The main reason for this is that your way is a mix of two methods: if you
build a kernel for just one SoC you get the right entry here, but if you
build the kernel for multiple SoCs combined, you have to edit the address
by hand.

An alternative would be to not define a default here and document the
possible addresses in the help text for DEBUG_SCIF, so that users will
/always/ have to manually edit these, so at least it would be consistent.
