I just pop up here to say that I have done this for a previous board
with a 850
and instead we used a netconsole.
In a new board we have the same problem, and I'll have to make the patch
again. Since we need a serial port we used a max3100 spi to serial converter
and I have a driver for that ready (but not yet as a console).
When I get around to add support for this chip in u-boot I'll also send the
patches for the kernel.

Pantelis
