Please Back commit out. You broke the console on the most modern Sparc
machines we run^H^Hran on. Commenting out uart adding back
ofw_console(4) restore console on Sun Blade 1{0,5}0 machines. Just
adding back ofw_console(4) restores console output, but ofw_console(4)
and uart(4) fight for input.
Contrary to rev 1.88's claim, ofw_console(4) does not cause harm, and NO
uart(4) has not completely handled its functionality.
