uart_register_driver call binds the driver to a specific device
node through tty_register_driver call. This should typically happen
during device probe call.
In a multiplatform scenario, it is possible that multiple serial
drivers are part of the kernel. Currently the driver registration fails
if multiple serial drivers with same default major/minor numbers are
included in the kernel.
A typical case is observed with amba-pl011 and samsung-uart drivers.
