The documentation of the __uart_read_properties() states that ->iotype member is always altered after the function call, but the code doesn't do that in the case when use_defaults == false and the value of reg-io-width is unsupported. Make sure the code follows the documentation. Note, the current users of the uart_read_and_validate_port_properties() will fail and the change doesn't affect their behaviour, neither users of uart_read_port_properties() will be affected since the alteration happens there even in the current code flow.
