That "0000:00:0b.0" looks like a PCI device ID. If it were a fourport
board, it would be "serial8250.3" according to the current enumeration
in linux/serial_8250.h.
Also, another give away is that IRQ185 is being setup as a PCI interrupt
immediately prior to the devices being registered.
And I doubt that an ISA board (which is what fourport is) would ever get
such a high IRQ number.
