As I explain, if set CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_REG_SIZE to 4, and
set CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_MAX_REG_SIZE also to 4, then the serial_out
becomes writel. :)
+#if (CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_REG_SIZE == 4) || (CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_REG_SIZE == -4)
+#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_PORT_MAPPED
+#define serial_out(x, y)       outl(x, y)
+#define serial_in(y)           inl(y)
+#else
+#define serial_out(x, y)       writel(x, y)
+#define serial_in(y)           readl(y)
+#endif

Best regards,
Lei
