are you sure, you need all 3 of them?

I.e. most Rockchip SoCs so far had one uart somewhat designated as debug uart.
Most likely due to it not having rts/cts and being used in reference
schematics, but no one ever used another uart than uart2 on previous socs. So
ideally we could check and only add uarts we actually need for now. More can
be added later anyway once boards try to use them.

Actually, I have two boards on my hand, one uses uart0 as debug port and the another uses uart2, so I add all of them here.

I have a question here, I not very clear how to get the DEBUG_UART_VIRT value here, I now set the value I got from uart driver and it works , is there some rule or method to calculate this DEBUG_UART_VIRT value on different platform?
