[U-Boot] serial init

[Valentin Ecker]

I see...I think we have a very similar setup, and I see how you init  
your ports. Although I'm not sure if this is suitable for me, since  
editing the ns16550-files to support/init an external COM-chip is not  
a really clean/nice implementation.

I'm not sure if there is any way to implement this in a nice way. But  
I will let you know if we find something ;)

thx for your help!
