I think we can do without it: there are only three machines that have
dt files with a reg-offset property in their uart:

- nds32 ae3xx was added in 4.17 and requires it there
- powerpc (virtex) has its own early console support and doesn't
  rely on earlycon.c
- mips (nexys4ddr) could use it, but has never made use of the
  earlycon driver in its DT files. It should now work out of the box
  in 4.17
