It seems you add the third structure to differentiate type of UART.
There is already port type and s3c24xx_serial_drv_data, no need for
third structure (kind of similar to tries of Tamseel Shams in recent
patches). It's too much. Instead, differentiate by port type or prepare
own set of uart_ops if it's really different (like you did with startup
op).

This ties into little changes in a bunch of places, so separate uart_ops callbacks for every one of those would end up duplicating a lot of code :(

That list is just used to map the port type to something that only represents the type of IRQs, but its only real purpose for the indirection is so I can do "== IRQ_DISCRETE" in some codepaths to mean "not apple or S3C6400".

e.g.

    if (s3c24xx_irq_type(port) == IRQ_DISCRETE)
        free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);

Would have to become

    if (port->type != IRQ_S3C6400 && port->type != IRQ_APPLE)
        free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);

or

    switch (port->type) {
    case IRQ_S3C6400:
    case IRQ_APPLE:
        break;
    default:
        free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);
    }

Which one do you prefer?

Aside: Marc didn't like introducing new port types into uapi, but if we don't do that then we need a "real" port type in drv_data that isn't the uapi-exposed port or something along those lines, with a separate enum containing all the true port type values for that.

  	/* Startup sequence is different for s3c64xx and higher SoC's */
-	if (s3c24xx_serial_has_interrupt_mask(port))
+	case IRQ_S3C6400:
  		s3c24xx_serial_ops.startup = s3c64xx_serial_startup;

Don't overwrite specific ops. It's difficult to see then which ops are
being used. Instead create a new set of uart_ops matching the needs.

s3c24xx_serial_ops was already doing that here, but I can move that to a a separate uart_ops too.

Ack on all the other comments, I'll make the changes for v2.
