Understood, in case you still have time to test one idea below. As far as I
understand current state of affairs the problematic part is the magic
multiplier.

Okay, we are interested so far in IO bar (which is BAR0).
Do you know what is the BAR1 for?

Yep, two drivers matches and only 8250_pericom is in use. All good here.

Yeah, this interesting layout with 64 bytes and gap in UARTs 3-6.

This is most important part. The code autodetects 16550A. Now I'm wondering
if the following change will keep MAGIC multiplier untouched (instead of
current patch):

- uart.port.flags = UPF_SKIP_TEST | UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF | UPF_SHARE_IRQ;
+ uart.port.flags = UPF_FIXED_PORT | UPF_FIXED_TYPE | UPF_SHARE_IRQ | UPF_MAGIC_MULTIPLIER;
+ uart.port.type = PORT_16550A;

Not sure what is this and how it may affect anything.
