[U-Boot] UART2 Console in u-boot

[prathika <prathika@deeopl.com>]

hi,

i did add the UART2 in the serial multi infrastructure at the end of my 
serial.c.
i have also configured GPIO registers for enabling UART2 Tx and Rx lines.
As I understand, these lines are also multiplexed with the boot strap 
lines of the PowerPC 440EP. Will this create any issue in the performance?
As I already mentioned I have enabled #define CONFIG_UART2_CONSOLE and

#define UART2_BASE	CFG_PERIPHERAL_BASE + 0x500

You have mentioned to enable the UART2 as default stdin and stdout...where do I enable that??

Thanks & Regards,
Prathika R
