Im having some confusion factor here .. perhaps its just caused by the wording
that is being used.
Why is there gona be something called ``uart_ar71xx''? As far as I know
there is a uart in the ar71xx, yes, but it isnt a uart specific to the ar71xx
family at all.

I question the choice of labels to trigger that then....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What code is specific only to the ar71xx and has anything to do with a uart?
