This ties into little changes in a bunch of places, so separate uart_ops 
  callbacks for every one of those would end up duplicating a lot of code :(

That list is just used to map the port type to something that only 
represents the type of IRQs, but its only real purpose for the 
indirection is so I can do "== IRQ_DISCRETE" in some codepaths to mean 
"not apple or S3C6400".

e.g.

     if (s3c24xx_irq_type(port) == IRQ_DISCRETE)
         free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);

Would have to become

     if (port->type != IRQ_S3C6400 && port->type != IRQ_APPLE)
         free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);

or

     switch (port->type) {
     case IRQ_S3C6400:
     case IRQ_APPLE:
         break;
     default:
         free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);
     }

Which one do you prefer?

Aside: Marc didn't like introducing new port types into uapi, but if we 
don't do that then we need a "real" port type in drv_data that isn't the 
uapi-exposed port or something along those lines, with a separate enum 
containing all the true port type values for that.

s3c24xx_serial_ops was already doing that here, but I can move that to a 
a separate uart_ops too.

Ack on all the other comments, I'll make the changes for v2.
