I believe that the patch set[1] is now _only_ supporting device tree 
enabled boards, there are boards using lpuart which are not yet having 
device trees, boards like vf610twr and Phytec pcm052. Even with driver 
model enabled i guess these boards canont use lpuart via platform data 
with this patch set. I think it would be nice to have the support for 
both platform data and device tree so that we can use it with platform 
data via board files and device tree too.

Since only few boards are using lpuart driver we can update the driver 
completly to driver model, drop the legacy code and update the boards.

Seems the legacy code in lpuart driver is broken:
drivers/serial/serial_lpuart.c:148:9: error: too few arguments to 
function '_lpuart_serial_tstc'

I will test the patch set[1] atleast on Toradex Colibri VF50/VF61 h/w 
and will provide a detailed report of my observations.
