We just seem to have same macro shared across multiple SoCs,
BOARDCFG_TRACE_DST_UART0 means logs are also directed to UART. Instance
of UART used for logging is platform specific.

On AM64 SYSFW logs are directed to MAIN UART1 (MAIN UART0 is used for
linux console). I will work internally and get SYSFW documentation
updated to reflect the same. Thanks!
