Jérôme! Could you send us acpidump output and your kernel
configuration.

Unfortunately we can't fix the values for every UART that has ACPI
companion like we did before anymore.

There is at least one new platform, that the driver supports, which
does not have the Designware UART in this "16550 compatible" mode, and
I guess it's possible that there are others as well. And I guess the
other values can also be what ever on those platforms.

Jérôme, can you test if using the quirk on Baytrails works:

@@ -302,7 +302,8 @@ static void dw8250_quirks(struct uart_port *p, struct dw8250_data *data)
 
                id = acpi_match_device(p->dev->driver->acpi_match_table,
                                       p->dev);
-               if (id && !strcmp(id->id, "APMC0D08")) {
+               if (id && (!strcmp(id->id, "APMC0D08") ||
+                   !strcmp(id->id, "80860F0A"))) {
                        p->iotype = UPIO_MEM32;
                        p->regshift = 2;
                        p->serial_in = dw8250_serial_in32;

Please note that this really is not a fix, not even a temporary one
for this issue. There are a lot of Baytrails on the market. I just
want to make sure there really is a problem delivering those values as
device properties with your board.


Thanks,
