It's because there are none. :-)

Not sure what Alan meant, but this seems the only option for now.
That's the conclusion I came to. I've rewritten the patch to use port.type instead of iotype since one of the fix is SoC and not UART specific. I guess
I failed to folkow your logic. :-)
I could use both iotype and type with a test on each for the appropriate bug, what do you recommend?
I think iotype would be enough. You can't pass type for platform devices anyway, IIRC (the thing I don't quite like).

I doubt we really need to *store* it somewhere. Isn't it an fixed offset from UART's base (I haven't seen the header)?
Unfortunately it's not a constant offset from the UART in the SoC register
Hm...
space. I've used Alan suggestion and added a classic, on some other OSes %-|, void "user" pointer.
Only do not do it under #ifdef.
