ARM support said they doesn't have information about BCM2835 UART. Does
anyone have a communication channel to Broadcom? It takes time for me to
get contact point to Broadcom.. (I'm trying)

However, ARM support also said:

"If the Broadcom part definitely has 16-deep FIFOs, it cannot be based
on a PL011 r1p5, so I might guess that Broadcom have just referenced
the latest version of the documentation on our website, but have actually
implemented an earlier version."
