I think we must get rid with this crap, and since this IDE register
mapping is pretty much board specific, call it something like
"mpc8349emitx-ide" instead.

What is board specific about a set of standard IDE registers at a given

various ns16550-compatibles out there as well?

I never suggested that -- what I did suggest was make of_serial.c recognize certain chip types and register them with 8250 driver.
