This looks correct, the base address is the serial base address + 64k, so they
don't overlap, and it doesn't overlap with the flash memory either. Same comment
as for the serial, I think the reason for choosing this address should be
mentioned, and the region should be put in the arch memory layout file. Other than
that, the patch looks good.

Thanks,

Alex
