So, the problem with Mustang and m400 was the mmio vs mmio32. Right now,
the kernel only supports mmio32 in the 8250_dw.c driver when probed with
ACPI. Other x86 machines just use legacy 8250 ports which don't need
entries in the DSDT and use legacy io. The 8250_dw driver does support
non-standard clocks specified in the DSDT. That works fine for Mustang
and m400.

So with this quick hack, v7 is working with Mustang/m400:
