Dear Alex,

The preference of jtag uart is not always true. Some people prefer 
normal uart as it doesn't require the nios2-termial program. As it could 
be switched easily with a #define CONFIG_ALTERA_JTAG_UART per board 
config file, this patch is not accepted. Thank you anyway.

Best regards,
Thomas
