Thanks for looking at the previous points, this driver is much better.
However, there's still some bits which could be even better.

Why not just get a proper legal allocation from LANANA ?

Column space is not at a premium.

static inline u32 __dcc_getstatus(void)

will do just as well.  Does the double underscore here serve any purpose?

The double underscore here serves no purpose.

Ditto.

Since this is the only place __dcc_putchar is used, might be an idea to
move it into this function?

Mixture of bracing styles, and there should be a space between if and (.

	if (pendings + xmit->tail > UART_XMIT_SIZE) {

Mixture of bracing styles again.  Either always place the { at the end of
the previous line (preferred) or separately on the next line, but don't
do both in the same file.

This doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Hmm, this looks over complex:

	if (dcc_poll_state != DCC_POLL_RUN)
		dcc_poll_state = DCC_POLL_RUN;

and unnecessary (see dcc_shutdown comments.)

Secondly, wouldn't it be better to have INIT_WORK() in the driver
initialisation?

Rather than having this dcc_poll_state, wouldn't the use of:

	cancel_rearming_delayed_work(&dcc_poll_task);

suffice?
