Currently, no PWCTL_COM0 infomation for MobilePro780 is known.
So, there is no PWCTL_COM0 defice for 780 such as follow.
pwctl0 at vrgiu? platform NEC_MCR_530 id PWCTL_COM0 port 46
(this is for MCR/530)
In some machine, kernel cannot enable serial port without this device.

You will know GIU setting from dmesg booting with -v option.
Difference of GIU setting between with "Serial Port On" and without
"Serial Port On" are the PWCTL_COM0 device infomation.
Please report this infomation.
We need these infomation for all machines.
