Very valid question, and I was wondering the same. Maybe 95% of this
header is just lazy leftover from 607ca46e97.

I'm fine with starting off some include/linux/serial_reg.h, provided
someone gives me a hint what should be moved - I'm not very familiar
with the serial kernel ABI. Or I just start it off with those defines
above. You choose.
