Yep, the corresponing dcdheader.S entries:

DCDGEN( 1, 4, 0xB8002000, 0x0000D003) /* CS0_CSCRU */
DCDGEN( 2, 4, 0xB8002004, 0x00330d01) /* CS0_CSCRL */
DCDGEN( 3, 4, 0xB8002008, 0x00220800) /* CS0_CSCRA */

So I reckon at least I got this part working fine.

reckon those questions of mine could be compiled into some sort of FAQ for
the newcomers into the barebox world to flatten the learning curve.
