Hi Kevin,

You’re right. The reason I left serial0 set to uart2 was that the LinkIt Smart 7688 board I have uses uart2 as console and I don’t have any other MT7628/MT7688 boards to test with.

This, however, brings me to another issue - the OpenWRT DTS files we use do not specify the actual console in any FreeBSD supported way (hence the need to specify serial0 alias in the fbsd dtsi files), so setting serial0 to uartlite for all MT7628/MT7688 boards will break at least the LinkIt Smart 7688 console…
Probably the best way forward would be to talk to the OpenWRT guys and see if they would be willing to include serial0 aliases in their DTS files directly, so I can then import these and trim our fbsd dtsi files further… but I won’t have time to work on this until at least the week after next.

In any case, thanks for testing this out and thanks for the patch. If you have other Mediatek/Ralink boards you could test with I would really appreciate it.

Best wishes,
Stanislav
