the current code looks wrong. serial_in_shift() is expanded to inb()
in case of CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_PORT_MAPPED and to
in_le32()/in_be32()/readl()/readb() otherwise. Only in the latter case
a map_physmem() is required and should be done in serial_in_shift()
itself or preferrably only once in
ns16550_serial_ofdata_to_platdata().

I think the correct approach would be the following:
