The special case is that s3c24xx as architecture has two different uart types. 
Everything else is the same so I didn't want to duplicate the s3c_debug_uartX 
entries.

The other option would have been to duplicate these, like having

- s3c_debug_uart[0-3] for the more common s3c2440 type and
- s3c2410_debug_uart[0-3] for the named type

I guess, judging from your comment this would be better?
[or I'm just overlooking the obvious third way :-) ]
