Ok, this is a news to me.  I'm certain that SCC on oldworld pmacs is
85C30.  When did the change to 85230 occur?  If I remember correctly,
some DMA setup codes in macserial.c need to know about it if it's dealing
with 85230 rather than 85C30.

With DMA, this is a non-issue as far as serial driver is concerned.
