This I would hope you can hide in the platform specific
serial_in/serial_out functions. If you write the UART_LCR save it in
serial_out(), if you read IER etc.

I couldn't find hooks for platform specific serial_in/out functions.

   It's because there are none. :-)

Do you mean using the up->port.iotype's in serial_in/out from 8250.c?

   Not sure what Alan meant, but this seems the only option for now.

privately off that ?

Sounds good to me, it would give us a location to store the address of the
UART_STATUS_REG required by this UART variant.

I doubt we really need to *store* it somewhere. Isn't it an fixed offset from UART's base (I haven't seen the header)?
