Is your DTS entry includes for serial node following entries:
reg-io-width = <4>
native-endian;

if answer is yes you should expect (in case of big endian compilation) that:
port->iotype would be equal to UPIO_MEM32BE, hence no readl() use for this case.

This is how it works for me here, it sounds like your case is similar.
