Don't pass a pointer to the USR register through the private_data field of the platform data. This isn't type safe and it's not clear what is happening. Add the USR offset to serial_reg.h and use an explicit serial_in() to read it with the correct accessor. Fix up the only in-tree user to not pass anything through private_data.
