Do I understand correctly that this has no side effects?

Which hardware did you test this on?

I don't know all quirks in 8250 drivers by heart, though can you guarantee that
at this point the device reports correct IO resource size? (If I'm not mistaken
some broken hardware needs some magic to be done before card can be properly
handled)

This and Co is a separate change that can be done in its own patch.

You may increase readability by introducing temporary variables

... mapbase = port->mapbase;
... mapsize = port->mapsize;
...
port->membase = ioremap_nocache(mapbase, mapsize);
...
