Thanks for your contribution!
My comments below.

First of all, always start a new email thread when sending a new version of the
patch (i.o.w. no In-Reply-to email header).

This chain, as described in Submitting Patches documentation [1], should go
accordingly.

Instead, it may make sense to switch to use uart_read_port_properties() which
has been recently introduced and dozen of drivers converted.

Ex. e6a46d073e11 ("serial: 8250_dw: Switch to use uart_read_port_properties()")

Yes, it assumes that you always need to base your changes on the latest
available changes in the certain subsystem (here it is tty-next branch
in Greg's tty tree, see git.kernel.org for the details).
