Actually, it's not simply a platform driver or macio driver. I think the
console is supposed to be registered before the normal bus matching takes
place. Hence this comment in pmac_zilog.c,
/*
* First, we need to do a direct OF-based probe pass. We
* do that because we want serial console up before the
* macio stuffs calls us back, and since that makes it
* easier to pass the proper number of channels to
* uart_register_driver()
*/
Laurent, can we avoid the irq == 0 warning splat like this?
