Yes, It will be not convenient for a new serial port debugging support
with the current modification, for example, if you add UARTXXXX, we need
to select it for the new board and also add it under the "depends" of
DEBUG_ZBOOT. how about this?

and we keep the old:

If a new serial port is needed, we just need to add the following lines
to arch/mips/Kconfig

config SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UARTXXX
	bool
	select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT

config MACH_XXXX

+obj-$(CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UARTXXX) += $(obj)/uart-xxx.o
endif

and also a new arch/mips/boot/compressed/uar-xxx.c is needed.

If this is okay, I will send a new revision asap.
