Thanks for your work on this.

At this point I'm inclined to say "no" to new DT reference using
platform devices for SCIF. I believe we instead should really work on
adding DT support to the SCIF driver and use DT for SCIF on more
recent boards. Also, we probably don't want to enable clocks like
that, instead we should tie in common clocks. That will take a little
bit longer time though, so I wonder what is a good solution until
then..

I think you want to update Makefile.boot to include the
lager-reference board. Also, I believe that without SCIF and clocks
the init_machine() and init_irq() callbacks can be left unset to make
use of the default behaviour.
