Thanks for this. Just as an FYI I've a running discussion with Microsoft about defining additional UART subtypes in the DBG2 for special case UARTs. Specifically, I want to address AppliedMicro's special 8250 dw IP that also has a non-standard clock. At this time, there is general agreement to use the access width for some cases rather than defining yet more subtypes - so your patch is good.
Loc/Applied: please track this thread, incorporate feedback, and also track the other general recent discussions of 8250 dw from this week.
Jon.
