There can be only one dbgu on a SoC and it has the chipid register. It
has always been wrong to have a dbgu compatible on the flexcom uart as
they are not dbgu.

Anyway, my advice has always been that you must not do chipid detection
on at91 because there is no point in doing it because you need to have
a correct dts to be able to find the dbgu chipid register so you either
you already know what you are running on or you are going to read bogus
registers anyway.
