Hello,

after the discussion with Hugo about hub6_match_port()[1] I looked into
implementing my suggestion. Hugo had a doubt there:

> I am not sure to fully understand what you suggest. Copying the same
> function code to two drivers seems like a waisted opportunity for code

I don't think this is a wasted opportunity, as uart_match_port() only
becomes a single comparison for the txx9 driver. Also having 8250
specific parts in serial_core is a layer violation.

I was unable to unsee some of the stuff I discovered, so there are a few
more patches in this series now ...

The first txx9 patch is a preparation for the second to establish the
assertion ".iotype is always UPIO_PORT". It's also a fix that is correct
on its own (assuming I understood the driver model misuse in this driver
correctly).

After that uart_match_port() is only used by the 8250 driver code and
thus can be moved to there in the third patch, simplifying the
dependencies a bit which enables fixing the breakage I found in the
fourth patch.

The two remaining patches are cleanups I found while working on that
driver.

Note this is only compile tested as I don't have a machine with any of
the three affected serial hardwares.

Best regards
Uwe
