The only platform device that can be bound to the driver is allocated by
the driver itself. That device doesn't have platdata, so the probe
function only consists of a loop that is never run and thus can be
dropped without loss of functionality.
The remove function then should better not undo things that were not
done in the first place. That happens because serial_txx9_init() calls
serial_txx9_register_ports() with the created platform device and so
up->dev == &dev->dev evaluates to true and uart_remove_one_port() is
called twice for each port.
So let serial_txx9_exit() undo exactly what serial_txx9_init() does and
remove the useless respectively wrong functions.
Fixes: 0970769aceb9 ("[SERIAL] serial_txx9 driver update")

Where the uart_match_port() function is used it's known that .iotype is
UPIO_PORT. So uart_match_port() is equivalent to comparing .iobase.
Remove the call to uart_match_port() which then only has a single caller
that is handled in the next commit.

I don't have the TC86C001FG PCI device (which is presumable present
on the GOKU-S sub-board), so I cannot test this code path.

The 8250 driver conglomerate is the only user of uart_match_port() and
in fact it already is 8250 specific as it uses hub6_match_port() which
is defined in drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_hub6.c unless the dummy
implementation is in use.

For 8250 devices .iotype is never UPIO_BUS, so drop the respective if
branch.

In the case CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y + CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_HUB6=m
hub6_match_port() evaluates statically to false in
serial8250_match_port() which is a bug and a change in behavior compared
to before commit 7ab80d1e7243 ("serial: 8250: fix compile error with
hub6_match_port() when compiled as a module").
To make the comparison correct, the dummy implementation of
hub6_match_port() must only be used if CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_HUB6 is
disabled. Then as there is a bidirectional dependency between
8250_hub6.c and 8250_core.c, put both in the same module.
Fixes: 7ab80d1e7243 ("serial: 8250: fix compile error with hub6_match_port() when compiled as a module")

At module load time a platform device is registered. That should be
undone when the module is unloaded.
Fixes: ec9f47cd6a14 ("[PATCH] Serial: Split 8250 port table")

serial8250_pnp_init() is only called from serial8250_init() which is
marked with __init, so the pnp init function can also get the same
marking. serial8250_pnp_exit() is only called from __init and __exit
code, so __init_or_module is appropriate for that.
