Hi Krzysztof,
> What does that mean? How UART can be accessible over PCI bus?
It's a Virtual UART. Internally, it's two FIFOs accessible via
8250-compatible register sets on both ends.
There is 4 Virtuals UARTs on the LPC bus of the AST2600 and 2 of them
are bridged over the PCI bus.
So, from the host, you can access the 8250 register set on the PCI bus.

Ack. I will remove 'default: false' for the v4.
