Why is it less desired?

Back when I wrote the driver, I used 8bit access on purpose to be
independent of register widths / endianess.

We have used the driver on systems where (something looking like) a
uartlite was behind a 16bit bus, so doing 32bit accesses would require
double the bus accesses.

Btw, the abq_iplib@xaqiptest40 address is (obviously) invalid.
