It's not difficult to extend the 8xx  UART  driver  to  support  both
SMC's  and  all  4 SCC's. This has been done before; see for examplee
the kernel source in our CVS server (module linux-2.4). This has been
tested and actually used (with hardware flowcontrol) on a  couple  of
boards.

that kernel = MV Linux 2.1? Seems you should ask MV....
