For Raspberry Pi, we had the input clock rate to the pl011 fixed in

115200 output unless the user changes it), we can just skip our own
uart init to simplify the boot process and more reliably get serial
output.

Sorry, I take this Tested-by back. With the latest firmware (which has
some modifications intended to initialize either the PL01x or the mini
UART depending on which the kernel will actually use), this patch causes
U-Boot not to boot at all. I'm pretty sure this is a FW bug (since even
without this patch the UART doesn't work, but U-Boot does at least boot
and can be used over HDMI/usbkbd), but I'd still prefer not to apply
this until the FW is working again and we can double-check everything.

Hopefully this will be resolved in
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/553 soon.

We can go ahead with this patch now; the FW behaviour has been accepted as a bug, and fixed in a new FW release.
