[Answering despite the ignore-hint to provide some tips for a v2]

Alright, so this worked before 6.12 because pcim_iomap() just silently
returned NULL if a mapping already existed. Which it still does, but
with a warning.

If you have to rework 8250_pcilib.c anyways, would be good to get rid
of pcim_iomap_table() as you're at it, because it's deprecated and
problematic.

It seems to me that this driver would be best of it could store in its
state (uart_8250_port) whether that BAR has already been mapped, and if
yes, take the existing addr and add the offset as needed for your new
addr.

Feel free to reach out if I can provide further tips
