Okay, I see that in 8250 we have hooks embedded into 8250_port.c which
is not the best solution.

For example it prevents better splitting Exar code.
So, we would need these hooks, but better to integrate them in the same
way like it's done for the rest of 8250 ones, i.e.
- rename existing to have a "do" word
- create new functions which would be a replacement that choose between
"do" variant and custom one
- not sure if we need to export "do" variants (at least for now)
