If you look in this file there is platform data for the serial port:

arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/board.c

U_BOOT_DEVICES(am33xx_uarts) = {
...

Do you think this might be missing for this board?

For the omap3 boards it is supported to be here:
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap3/board.c

But perhaps for some reason it is not included?
