Do I understand it right, that with this change all UARTs, controlled by 
legacy_serial will be initialized later, and that for example console 
output will be first possible later? Maybe, if there is really no other 
possibility for I/O space devices, we could have both calls

arch_initcall(serial_mem_dev_init);
device_initcall(serial_io_dev_init);

so, that at least MEMIO based UARTs could still initialize as before?

Thanks
