I think it would be better to put it into 8250_early.c rather than 
8250_of.c, as there are already some other definitions in there,
and the #ifdef CONFIG_TEGRA in 8250_of.c is for some other workaround.

Would it be possible to handle the "reg-io-width" parsing in
early_serial8250_setup instead of keying it off the string?
