Just to clarify, the uncompress.h code is using the UART_SCR to store the
DEBUG_LL port number based on the machine ID.

The reason this code is not needed is that the earlyprintk code prints
out something already before we get to this code.

If earlyprintk did not print anything before this code, we would need
to save UART_SCR here as the debug serial port gets initialized the first
time something is printed.

Although the code above uses UART_OMAP_SCR and not UART_SCR, it resets
the uart so we lose UART_SCR.

So in any case I've dropped the code above.

Tony
