Hi Heinrich,
adding Alex just in case he knows better, as he wrote the initial code.

After digging a bit, my guess is: in the mentioned devicetree commit you change
the stdout-path from serial0 (pl011) to serial1 (aux-uart).
My guess is, that the FW sets the pin mux to ALT0 which leads
bcm283x_is_serial_muxed() to fail.
I wasn't able to find where the pinctrl is initialized. Shouldn't that happen
before we call serial_init()?

Matthias
