Hi Mike,

Sorry my email client was messing about yesterday so I ended up
creating a new thread.  As Eric pointed out there, this is a little
more complex due to some changes in the pxa devel tree.  Patch that 
effectively did the same thing (but adapted for the devel
tree was in the thread:

 [PATCH] pxa: fix for UART reference in section text for a number of platforms.

Thanks and sorry again for wasting your time.
