Over all 200+ LOCs I didn't see any of the above except loopback, which
is one property that can be easily added to 8250_of.c.

Moreover, if you have more code coming I would suggest you to split
8250_of to library and driver parts and re-use stuff from there.

Arnd, what is your opinion about new 8250 OF based drivers?
