I went and re-tried things again today, but with the clk & pinctrl series
from the ML instead of that branch.
I'd gone and used that branch instead of the patches, as there were some
build issues with the pinctrl driver from the patches.
I fixed the build issues in the pinctrl driver and now uart0 works.

Looking at it again, it makes sense for uart0 to be serial0, given
there's pinconf stuff being done in this DT for pins 5 & 6 for uart0.

Perhaps by using that branch, I was using some older drivers etc given
it seems to mostly contain commits dating from November?
I'm still a bit confused about the whole thing, given I tried out a
whole load of branches to get something booting with ethernet support
that day!

Since this seems to work with the fixed pinctrl driver, I don't think
you need to change anything here.

Apologies for the noise!
Conor.
