[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Adds support for Xilinx Uart Lite on ppc4xx

Hello again

    This files already exist on the u-boot tree. They are located in
include/asm-microblaze and include/asm-microblaze/arch-microblaze .
They give support to a simple uart which can also be used on the
powerpc, I have just copied them from one directory to another.

    This files have been provided by Xilinx, and they are the same in
all the OS and boot loaders, I don't  think they break any GPL
license,


   Best regards and sorry for the coding style.... I am correcting it.
