Still better than nothing ;) I'm mostly agree on points you had, so I've
just left some I'm doubt about...

A quick grep shows that core calls mps2_uart_break_ctl()
unconditionally, but, yes, it checks for presence of
mps2_uart_enable_ms() before jumping there, so it is safe to remove latter.

In practice I've never seen that happened and I think it never *should*
happen since we check if there is room in TX buffer. However, I could be
wrong here, so it is why that statement has question mark.

Looks like they called unconditionally by the core.

With this move we'll get uart_*register for every device probed, no?
