Please break this up into paragraphs.

Hey, you just wrote this
And it looks crazy
But here's my function
So call it, maybe?

static bool needs_qdf2400_e44(struct acpi_table_header *h)
{
	const char *id;

	/* The erratum only applies to Qualcomm Technologies SOCs */
	if (memcmp(h->oem_id, "QCOM  ", ACPI_OEM_ID_SIZE))
		return False;

	id = h->oem_table_id;

	if (!memcmp(id, "QDF2432 ", ACPI_OEM_TABLE_ID_SIZE))
		return True;

	if (!memcmp(id, "QDF2000 ", ACPI_OEM_TABLE_ID_SIZE) &&
		h->oem_revision == 0)
		return True;
	
	return False;
}

...

	if (needs_qdf2400_e44(&table->header))
		uart = "qdf2400_e44";

Please rename this to needs_qdf2400_e44

Just use pr_once(), and you can skip the "if (!qdf2400_e44)".  Although I don't 
understand why you need to do that.  pl011_console_match() should only be called 
once anyway, right?

I think you can ignore the UPIO_MEM32 test and always use writel(), even on the 
QDF2400.
