What's wrong with the existing port? Version 1.1.1 is too old, and
existing port works fine for me.

You can't use FEC2 and SMC2 simultaneously, and the factory DIP switch
settings select FEC2. Make sure you've got correct settings and enable
SMC2 UART in BCSR.

Probably you didn't change BR0/OR0. Anyway, it works in current version
of U-Boot. Make sure that you've got updated BCSR, otherwise you have to
modify the SIMM because original BCSR does not recognise this SIMM
correctly.
