[U-Boot-Users] Patches for the PXA architecture

I have a board with a PXA255 processor. This board has en external dual 
uart chip and I want to support console setup on either the PXA uarts, 
or one of the external uarts. I found the ns16550 driver which is quite 
handy and configurable. It works quite well and supports the shifted 
address bits to the external uart as well (PXA address pins 2-4 go to 
uart 0-2).

There is a problem however with the compilation when using the external 
uart. On the PXA uart driver (in cpu/pxa/serial.c) the code is included 
always, there are no conditional like in the freescale processors. I 
patched this file to isolate this code if one wants to use another uart. 
The patch is attached. Using this config the object CONFIG_PXA_CONSOLE 
(this can be renamed obviously if the developers don't find it 
appropriate) has to be defined along with the CONFIG_BTUART, 
CONFIG_FFUART and CONFIG_STUART.

Also attached is a patch for the davicom 9000 ethernet driver. When 
debugging is enabled the driver will not compile.

Both patches are for u-boot 1.1.4. I know this is a user list, but I 
don'y know what are the appropriate channels for bug fixes. I have added 
two platforms (this one and a freescale one, based on MPC8275) to 
u-boot, should I sumbit patched for them as well?
