I'll change it

It wasn't my idea. That's - as the description says - the code that was once 
upstream before it got removed in 89d4f98ae90d. This is also why the 
ZX_UART011_* defines still exist.

I re-checked if the device identifies itself in the mmio area in any way, and 
that I maybe got the size wrong - but that was not the case, everything past 
the ZX_UART011_* registers is zero until the next device starts.

Another idea I considered is using ZTE's 0x8c (assuming that "Microelectronics 
Institute ZTE" is the same ZTE that made the board), but then I would have to 
invent a device number, ideally without clashing with an existing ZTE device.

Thanks for the review,
Stefan
