I agree - coding base addresses in drivers, rather than machines/platforms,
sounds like a bad idea.

There is a somewhat open question in both Linux and u-boot about what to do
if the MIOs enable PS7_UART1 but not PS7_UART0.  Should UART1 enumerate as
u-boot's first serial device?  In Linux as /dev/ttyS0?

Let's keep addresses and decisions like this in platform files, not device
drivers.
