Sounds good :)

Where are/how do your way implement? Can you paste your code sections here?
If I remember ML405 properly the serial port should be compliant to ns16550. So
I think the sub-functions, putc()/getc()/tstc(), should be from the file,
arch/powerpc/boot/ns16550.c. If so it's fine.
Maybe you can add some extra printf() into the function, serial_edit_cmdline, to
track this in detail.
