I'm getting unsure how much sense it makes to expand the ns16550 driver
like this and like we've done with Omap, Tegra and others. It's always a
little weight that we add to the driver and maybe we have reached the
point where we should split the driver into several SoC specific drivers
and some common library helper code for the general ns16550 support.
