[PATCH 2/5] powerpc/44x: allow override to hard-coded uart address

Allow the early debug uart address to be overridden from the kernel
command line.

I would have preferred use the uart's virtual-reg property, but the device
tree hasn't been unflatted yet, and I don't know a reliable way to find it.
