yes. that's one way to do it. But it's a bit hacky. On the other hand, if we were to initialize all 5 UARTs, the user would have to add 4 "-serial null" devices to use UART5 as a console (and none for UART1). Which is not that good for a user API. We added the 'macs_mask' for a similar reason btw. I think your proposal plus the extra SoC property is better though. Thanks for testing. C.
