A nit:

	struct uart_match match = { .port = port, .driver = drv };

I would do it on a single line (you already over 80 anyway).

As per above.

...

Can be written as

	tty_dev = device_find_child(phys_dev, &match, serial_match_port);

?

Can be written as

		sysfs_remove_link(&port_dev->dev.kobj, "tty");

can't be?
