After reading through the history of sbsa-uart,  I think that I would
prefer us to fall back to v1 to be compatible with sbsa-uart rather
than changing it to be compatible with pl011.  Although the hardware
is actually compatible with the pl011, it would be better for us to
follow the newer SBSA standard to leave advanced configuration to
firmware and just expose the simple standard interface to OS.
