Hum I think that I don't understand something.
In fact when I change the baudrate of SMC1 in UBoot, I see that the same
baudrate remains used in the linux console ( am I getting mad ?? :-)) )
So I thought that the IO Connfiguration & The BRG settings was done only by
UBoot.
BTW, depending on the hardware the IO pins ( and the IO Config ) are not the
same and nothing in the linux config allow to choose that... So it should
mean that the Linux Uart Driver should be patched depending on your
hardware.
