Sure, I'll do.

SPCR (non-SBSA) spec has baudrate, stop and parity  information, I think we should support setting the correct baudrate according to SPCR table instead of removing the code.

I need your opinion on this.

Qualcomm Technologies QDF2XXX ARM SBSA serial port hardware require registers access should be 32-bit, so our firmware sets interface type to  ACPI_DBG2_SBSA_32.

I would like to support both the interfaces (ACPI_DBG2_SBSA_32/ACPI_DBG2_SBSA) If you are okay.
