This is not obvious so add a little note about how it works.

+Debug UART
+----------
+
+It is possible to enable the debug UART with coreboot. To do this, use the
+info from the cbsysinfo command to locate the UART base. For example::
+
+ => cbsysinfo
+ ...
+ Serial I/O port: 00000000
+ base : 00000000
+ pointer : 767b51bc
+ type : 2
+ base : fe03e000
+ baud : 0d115200
+ regwidth : 4
+ input_hz : 0d1843200
+ PCI addr : 00000010
+ ...
+
+Here you can see that the UART base is fe03e000, regwidth is 4 (1 << 2) and the
+input clock is 1843200. So you can add the following CONFIG options::
+
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_UART=y
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BASE=fe03e000
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_CLOCK=1843200
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_SHIFT=2
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_ANNOUNCE=y
