You have still few places (3+ IIRC) where it makes sense.

With given indentation it might be long enough to uglify the code.
So, I would still go with one / two helpers (do your own choice), but
if you insist that is not beneficial I would not object in-place
masking.
static inline int serial_in_IIR_mask(port, mask)
{
return ... & mask;
}
static inline int serial_in_IIR(port)
{
return serial_in_IIR_mask(port, ..._IIR_MASK);
}

I usually do such to minimize characters to type (notice leading _
which means I referred to a suffix) and that's why the work "like" is
used above implying you need to modify to function correctly.
