The PORT_SI4455 is defined for using as port type value in struct uart_port.
I checked other serial drivers under drivers/tty/serial and the port types
used by serial drivers are defined in two places:

include/uapi/linux/serial_core.h
include/uapi/linux/serial.h

The port type is required by serial_core, and its value goes back to
user space with TIOCGSERIAL ioctl call.

I can't set port type value to 0(PORT_UNKNOWN).
I think my drivers source is not the best place to defining PORT_SI4455,
 but I can't find better place then include/uapi/linux/serial_core.h

Could you please help me where is the correct location for this definition?
