There are two definitions for low-level UART ports for Exynos platform.
CONFIG_S3C_LOWLEVEL_UART_PORT is used for printing "Uncompressing
Linux... done, booting the kernel." and CONFIG_S3C_UART for other
low-level messages.

The assumption for both the uart ports is that they are pre-configured
in the bootloader. Since they are essentially the same always, it
would be good to consolidate them to use only one macro, in this case
'DEBUG_S3C_UART' would be a better option.

'DEBUG_S3C_UART' is defined only if DEBUG_LL is enabled. We can safely
disable this option when DEBUG_LL is not defined and we can boot various
boards with different UART port settings. Only drawback of this
approach is that when DEBUG_LL is not defined, we would be missing the
print "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."

Since CONFIG_S3C_LOWLEVEL_UART_PORT is still used by other Samsung
boards, the consolidation applies only for ARCH_EXYNOS.

This looks reasonable, but you have to convert the other samsung
platforms too -- it's not ok to ignore them.

Sure thing. I will update those platforms in a subsequent patchset.

Perfectly acceptable to me (and already the case on OMAP.)

Thanks Kevin.

I have an updated version of this patch updated for all of Samsung
platforms.[1]
