Hmm... Currently it's done inside individual port drivers, like 8250_dw.c.
Each of the drivers can do it differently, for example 8250_lpss.c or
8250_pnp.c.

This is again same issue. The parent should not request resource it doesn't use.
I think I understand what is a confusion here.
For the IO resources we have two operations:
- mapping / re-mapping (may be shared)
- requesting (exclusive)
In the parenthesis I put a level of access to it. While many device drivers can
*share* same resource (mapped or unmapped), the only one can actually request
it.
So, the parent can take an slice resources as it would be appropriated, but not
requesting them.
OTOH, it's possible to have a (weird) MFD case where parent *requested*
resources, and *all* of its children are aware of that.
