Sorry about all the hassles and thanks for testing again.

I too noticed several issues remaining after testing reloading the hardware
specific serial driver, the issues I saw should be fixed in tty-linus.

The issue above should be fixed with commit:

bbb4abb1bcfb ("serial: 8250: Reinit port_id when adding back serial8250_isa_devs")

Not sure about the sparc one you mentioned, but let's when you run your
tests again.
