>From kernel 6.8 to 6.9 the default_setup function was changed to use the
more generic serial8250_pci_setup_port function to setup the serial
ports, but that results in this kernel warning.

The serial8250_pci_setup_port function internally relies on the
pcim_iomap function. The way this function works was changed from kernel
6.10 to 6.11 and now clearly states in the description "This SHOULD only
be used once per BAR". And this is the issue. Basically all the hardware
handled by the 8250_exar driver are multi-port cards, which have
multiple ports on one PCI bar. The serial8250_pci_setup_port/pcim_iomap
functions can not be used with that driver anymore. Reverting the code
back to the older pci_resource_start approach fixes this issue.
