Description:

Arch Linux's libnfc build does not enable the pn532_uart driver, provided by libnfc. It can be enabled with the -DLIBNFC_DRIVER_PN532_UART flag. Please enable this in order to support more NFC hardware.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 1.8.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect PN532 through an USB-UART converter or use a module with such hardware internals.
2. Run nfc-scan-device and observe "No NFC device found.".

There is a small error in the report. The driver is called pn53x_uart, not pn532_uart. The build flag is correct and the package builds successfully with it, enabling additional hardware.
