Isn't this a lot of duplication?  We have already in 

/*
 * include/linux/serial_reg.h
 *
#define UART_RX		0	/* In:  Receive buffer */
#define UART_TX		0	/* Out: Transmit buffer */
#define UART_IER	1	/* Out: Interrupt Enable Register */
#define UART_IIR	2	/* In:  Interrupt ID Register */
#define UART_FCR	2	/* Out: FIFO Control Register */
#define UART_LCR	3	/* Out: Line Control Register */
#define UART_MCR	4	/* Out: Modem Control Register */
#define UART_LSR	5	/* In:  Line Status Register */
#define UART_MSR	6	/* In:  Modem Status Register */
#define UART_SCR	7	/* I/O: Scratch Register */

and the bit definitions, as well.
