Thanks! I can confirm that this patch fixes the problem I was seeing.

I understand David O'Brien's concerns about the patch and associated
increase in kernel size, but as it stands, there seems to be little
point in creating a puc module as it cannot work with the GENERIC kernel
(other than for devices using uart, as that isn't in GENERIC).
