Does the dmb() do the right thing here? It seems strange to combine a strictly
ordered I/O instruction with another ordering instruction, and I think it would
be better to use writew_relaxed for the first one, followed by a 'wmb()'.

Is the serial port connected through the FPGA or just configured by it?

In the former case, I think it would be better to make this a proper device driver that
binds to the qcom,msm8660-surf-fpga device, configures it and then creates the
platform_devices for the child nodes (the serial port, possibly others) by calling
of_platform_bus_probe.
