Would "Brcmstb 7271 UART" suffice?

There is some other PORT_ALTR logic that I would like to avoid. I would
also like to avoid future changes to PORT_ALTR that wouldn't be
applicable to us.

We were seeing some latency issues on our chips where 16 would cause
overflows. Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. If creating another
port type is avoidable then alternatively I can change the default in
userspace.
