The uart_xmit_advance() helper was created for managing the xmit tail index and accounting. It simplifies one the most common operation in almost every serial driver. Convert most of the drivers to use the new helper. I've tried to pick the drivers such that these shouldn't collide with the ones Jiri's tx loop rewrite series is touching (unless he has something hidden beyond what has been on the list).
