Hi Andy,

The commit 720f9e1fdb0c ("Move PCI access from ofdata_to_platdata() to
probe()") while doing formally a right thing, actually brings a regression
to the drivers that would like to pre-initialize hardware before calling
ns16550_serial_probe(). In particular, the code, which gets moved out,
is responsible for getting the address of the hardware.

The commit breaks serial console on the Intel Edison, for example.

Since we are very close to the release, the quick fix is to revert the
culprit commit 720f9e1fdb0c92d3fd16e1bfc25bcbd35612675c.

Note, it doesn't affect SoCFPGA case.
