First thing, a single .c file should not need a .h file.

But then I looked at the .h file and see:

If you do have an ioctl, use proper data types.  These are not the
correct ones (hint, __u32 and __u8).

Why does a serial driver have private ioctls?  Please no, don't do that.
Implement the basic serial driver first, and then we can talk about
"custom" configurations and the like, using the correct apis.
