People are still making new 8250-like variants with different ways of
controlling them these days? That's the design pattern that will not
die, or at least, it keeps getting a "value-add" :(

Do you really mean "+"? Sorry, I have to ask.

Um, 2012 and every year since then? You all have had an out-of-tree
driver for 11+ years that has been constantly updated every year?

Please use proper kernel types, u8.

And that's a horrible packing, do you mean to have those offsets?

And why "unsigned int", don't you mean "u64" or "u32"?

Can this ever happen? If not, don't check for it, otherwise you just
rebooted a machine that has panic-on-warn enabled :(

Or better yet, handle the case and return the error, why the WARN_ON()?

Why "dev_vdbg()"? Why not just "dev_dbg()"? When are you going to
rebuild this code to enable the "dev_vdbg()" lines?
