There is no serial/usb connector on discovery board to use USART6 signals.
With this patch, it is not possible to get discovery console without additional circuit. Please revert this patch.
Also I did a quick check on transferring 2.6MB binary using usart1 without any issue.

Hi Toshifumi,
Please keep all involved developers in the "To" of the patch e-mails (checkout scripts/get_maintainer.pl).

Cheers,
Vikas
