One more thing to clarify, there's nothing stopping also mapping the needed
resources for the child IP too if needed by the driver or the dts binding.
The calls for resources by the 8250 driver just won't do anything as the
resources are already enabled by the parent.

Yes it should be done for devices with the wake-up path wired like
wkup_rtc0.
