As I will submit the device tree support for the altera_uart driver
(and the altera_jtaguart driver sometime in the future) I was asking
myself the same question. I'd vote for the altera.txt solution, as we
could use that for documenting the uart drivers, other Altera component
specific drivers and also the Nios2 arch specific parameters in the
future.
