[UART] GPS 18-5Hz LVC and COM1 silence, OK on Linux though...

It is the only one---I've disabled COM2 in BIOS, and according to the
manual the external connector is COM1 (mobo is JNF99FL-525). Just
tried re-enabling COM2 in BIOS, but that made no difference---both
cuau0 and cuau1 remain silent... I'm beginning to think that it might
be an `unintended feature' that crept into the UART code...
