I think you need to reset your process here.

First you should probably get a prom_putchar() function working.  Then 
enable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK.  That will enable you to debug many things.

If need be, you can write a trivial prom_puts() to go with your 
prom_putchar().

If you have two serial ports available, all the better.  Use one for 
printing debugging information and the other as the port you are trying 
to debug.

Asking people to stare at the thousands of lines of code that make up 
the serial I/O system and spot the error in your configuration will 
probably be less fruitful than tracing through it to find the problem.
