This adds a new serial 8250 driver that supports the UART in PRUSS
module.

The PRUSS has a UART sub-module which is based on the industry standard
TL16C550 UART controller, which has 16-bytes FIFO and supports 16x and
13x over samplings.

Will the port type ever not be PORT_16550A?

So far each UART module is has been the same, I think it might be safe
to hardcode:

port->type = PORT_16550A;



+    if (port_type == PORT_UNKNOWN)
+        return -EINVAL;
+
+    info = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*info), GFP_KERNEL);
+    if (!info)
+        return -ENOMEM;
+
+    memset(&port8250, 0, sizeof(port8250));
+
+    ret = of_address_to_resource(np, 0, &resource);

platform_get_resource()

Will add


+    if (ret) {
+        dev_err(&pdev->dev, "invalid address\n");
+        return ret;
+    }
+
+    ret = of_alias_get_id(np, "serial");

Can you make use of the uart_read_port_properties() helper here?

yes we can,
thanks for reviewing.
