OK.
while I am at it, you initially suggested to do the probe in pl011_dma_startup.
Instead I probed from pl011_hwinit since it matched the original behaviour of
also probing the DMA when CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL was enabled.
However, since the CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL implementation for the amba-pl011 doesn't
use the DMA it actually doesn't help to keep it in pl011_hwinit.
is it ok with you if I move this to pl011_dma_startup as you initially suggested?
