The reason for this patch is to be able to do exactly that (set port
type and UPF_FIXED_TYPE) without having UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF added.
In the current serial8250_register_8250_port() there is:
uart->port.flags = up->port.flags | UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF;
So, even though I set UPF_FIXED_TYPE, I get
UPF_FIXED_TYPE|UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF. So I need this patch.
I think it is unfortunate that UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF is or'ed to flags like
that, but changing that will surely break stuff.
