So we have a case where we can use CONFIG_ (because it is an option
selectable by user) or CONFIG_SYS_ because it depends on HW... I see
other cases where a CONFIG_ (CONFIG_SERIAL_BASE, CONFIG_FFUART, ..) is
used to select the UART on different SOCs. And I see also other cases
with CONFIG_SYS_ (CONFIG_SYS_UART_BASE, for example). Both are currently
used - I will not change, I think that CONFIG_MXC_UART_BASE explains
already well what is supposed to do.
