Why not use dev_err_probe() everywhere since this is called only at ->probe()
stage?

Why error code is being shadowed?

Ditto.

Ditto.

Casting in printf() in kernel in 99% shows the wrong specifier in use. Try to
select the best suitable one.

If it's temporary, may be you shouldn't even consider devm_ioremap_resource()
to begin with? The devm_* release type of functions in 99% of the cases
indicate of the abusing devm_.

Why do we need this noise?

When this can be false?

When m, what be the module name?

This group of drivers for the 4 UARTs on the board or so, does FPGA belong to
it? (Same Q, btw, for the Kconfig section. And yes, I know that some of the
entries are not properly placed there and in Makefile.)
