Yeah, this is all I wanted.  Hmm, so from the description we can see that
it thinks you have 4 ports:

		snprintf(desc, sizeof(desc),
		    "Timedia technology %d Port Serial", (int)sc->sc_cfg_data);

and the code that sets sc_cfg_data sets it to the number of supported ports
that PUC_CFG_GET_NPORTS returns:

	case PUC_CFG_GET_NPORTS:
	...
				if (subdev == subdevs[dev].ids[id]) {
					sc->sc_cfg_data = subdevs[dev].ports;
					*res = sc->sc_cfg_data;
					return (0);
				}

You might need to just add some printfs to puc_bfe_attach().  It would be good
to see if the PUC_CFG_GET_NPORTS request in attach also returned 4 in res (the
description string is set in puc_bfe_probe()).

That patch is just cosmetic.  It would be nice to have it tested, but it
won't fix your bug.
