I'd like to keep some form of reporting so that we know the
port was properly probed; what about extending uart_report_port()
to including CIR + disabled status?

Secondly, good catch! Because we should not be trying to
register a console on this port, nor driving modem signals.

So maybe an early exit after uart_report_port?
