With serial8250_register_8250_port() forcing UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF bit on, it
is not possible to register a port without having
serial8250_request_std_resource() called.
For adding a 8250 port to an MFD device, this is problematic, as the
request_mem_region() call will fail, as the MFD device (and rightly so)
has requested the region. For this case, the 8250 port should accept
having passed mapbase and membase, and just use that.
