Thanks for this. Just as an FYI I've a running discussion with Microsoft
about defining additional UART subtypes in the DBG2 for special case
UARTs. Specifically, I want to address AppliedMicro's special 8250 dw IP
that also has a non-standard clock. At this time, there is general
agreement to use the access width for some cases rather than defining
yet more subtypes - so your patch is good.

Loc/Applied: please track this thread, incorporate feedback, and also
track the other general recent discussions of 8250 dw from this week.

Jon.
