 Works, problem fixed. I now can talk uart(4) just identical to sio(4).
 Ah, finally no silo overflows any more!
 
 Many thanks for this truely outstanding support!!!
 
 BTW, I applies to most 8250/16550 based PCI board, so it should probably
 be fixed before 6.2-STABLE, IMHO.
 
 BTW2, still the SUN1889 is recognized as 16550, not 16650. This has
 probably no impact since it only means we do not utilize the full FIFO
 depth of the 16650, but still...
 
 Many thanks again, your work deserves it!

 Helge
