UPF_FIXED_PORT was my first guess. However, it didn't work.

I've also tried to do ioremap in serial_pxa_probe instead of using
UPF_IOREMAP. This didn't work as well.

I've left this

uart.port.type = PORT_XSCALE;

as an indicator that 8250_pxa depends on this port type, and anyone
changing its specific code paths should test with 8250_pxa. This line
could be safely removed or commented out, if you feel strongly about
that.

IIRC, autoprobing doesn't change irq or uartclk.
