This was already in a previous version, until Greg commented
that it was probably not needed:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20fc81c9-5517-ce1e-639a-3b425cf27759@gmail.com/

Since leaving port->type at PORT_UNKNOWN doesn't work, and almost
all other drivers have something in serial_core.h, it's probably
best to do the same here. Checking the other drivers showed that
drivers/tty/serial/lantiq.c is currently the only exception, it
defines PORT_LTQ_ASC locally, which causes a conflict with
PORT_SPRD.
