Can't we have a device prefix here, so that everyone knows what device 
is affected? Without that, it's not that useful. At least port->name & 
port->line could be printed. The uart core uses dev_* prints, but prints 
also line as uport->dev can be NULL sometimes.

Hm, we could introduce uart_print family (to print something like what 
is in uart_report_port).

thanks,
