I'm not sure exactly which board Sebastian has in mind, but I've been
using the SERIAL_8250_RT288X driver on my Tango4 board.

Note: calling the UART driver "Au1x00/RT288x" is a bit of a misnomer,
as these are names of SoCs using that distinct register layout.
The actual IP is probably the 16550-compatible Palmchip BK-3103.

(Not sure that this website is legitimate, though.)

When I need earlyprintk support, I use this patch from Mans:
