[PATCH 0/4] switch arc-uart to devicetree based probing

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

As part of converting ARC Port to devicetree infrastructure, the following
series converts the arc-uart driver to DT.

* The first patch is a bug-fix which showed up in the process as DT based
  platform devices by default have -ve id
* Next two prepare the driver for forthcoming DT changes.
* Last one contains the DT bindings and driver using those.

Couple of points worth mentioning:
* The earlyprintk portion of driver still relies on static platform data
  we would need some earlyprintk handling in of_fdt_* to clean it up properly
* Two of the three platform data instances are now retrieved from DT.
  However one still needs to be dynamically passed by platform (using
  of_dev_auxdata) as we want to run same image in simulator and hardware

Tested on in-works ARC 3.8 port.

P.S. Greg, can this be treated as a bug-fix for 3.8

Thx,
-Vineet
