OK, they are not using serial-u16550 but 8250_fourport for some reason:
# cat /proc/tty/driver/serial serinfo:1.0 driver revision: 0: uart:16550A port:000003F8 irq:4 tx:0 rx:0 1: uart:unknown port:000002B8 irq:5 2: uart:unknown port:000003E8 irq:4 3: uart:unknown port:000002E8 irq:3 4: uart:16550A port:0000DD00 irq:185 tx:234335 rx:47502 RTS|DTR 5: uart:16550A port:0000E300 irq:185 tx:249926 rx:27732 RTS|DTR 6: uart:16550A port:0000E400 irq:185 tx:120958 rx:0 RTS|DTR 7: uart:16550A port:0000D000 irq:185 tx:0 rx:0 8: uart:16550A port:0000D100 irq:185 tx:0 rx:0 RTS|DTR 9: uart:16550A port:0000D200 irq:185 tx:0 rx:123406 RTS|DTR
It looks like no overruns are reported, but I have to find out whether they have reproduced the bug since the last reboot.
