I just realized that this:

> -			port->icount.tx++;

... conflicts with another accepted patch (by Ilpo) that's currently
making its way to being released:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221019091151.6692-20-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com/

Also, this:

> +		xmit->tail = (xmit->tail + 1) & (UART_XMIT_SIZE - 1);
> +		port->icount.tx++;

should now be `uart_xmit_advance(port, 1);` instead.
I'm going to take that into account in v4, in addition to any extra
feedback I'll receive.

Thanks!
