Thank you for attempting to mainline it.  I have some cosmetic comments.

It would be better to avoid volatile.

static inline unsigned int sio_in(struct uart_port *port, int offset)
{
	return __raw_readl(port->membase + offset);
}

static inline void sio_out(struct uart_port *port, int offset,
	unsigned int value)
{
	__raw_writel(value, port->membase + offset);
}

A while ago, this part of serial_txx9.c was changed a bit (no ifdefs,
avoid endless loop).  Could you change it to:

	unsigned int tmout = 10000;

	sio_out(kgdb_port, TXX9_SIFCR, TXX9_SIFCR_SWRST);
	/* TX4925 BUG WORKAROUND.  Accessing SIOC register
	 * immediately after soft reset causes bus error. */
	mmiowb();
	udelay(1);
	while ((sio_in(kgdb_port, TXX9_SIFCR) & TXX9_SIFCR_SWRST) && --tmout)
		udelay(1);

uart_get_divisor() can be used here:

	quot = uart_get_divisor(kgdb_port, kgdb_txx9_baud);

It would be better to do it more similar to serial_txx9.c:

	quot >>= 1;
	if (quot < 256)
		sibgr = quot | TXX9_SIBGR_BCLK_T0;
	else if (quot < (256 << 2))
		sibgr = (quot >> 2) | TXX9_SIBGR_BCLK_T2;
	else if (quot < (256 << 4))
		sibgr = (quot >> 4) | TXX9_SIBGR_BCLK_T4;
	else if (quot < (256 << 6))
		sibgr = (quot >> 6) | TXX9_SIBGR_BCLK_T6;
	else
		sibgr = 0xff | TXX9_SIBGR_BCLK_T6;
