I no longer have TNETD7200 devices to test on unfortunately.

What I just found is that TNETD7300GDU revision 5 does not have this bug, 
while TNETD7300GDU revision 4 has. This seems to confirm the HW bug 
hypothesis. Let's just clean the serial console registration and we will keep 
in OpenWrt the 8250 workaround for older TNETD7300 revisions.
