Same problem on an IB8000 Atom Braswell board using 16.04.
Also shows the two ports when checking with acpidump, but the bionic OEM kernel 
mentioned here did not fix it when installed on my 16.04. It booted fine but no 
ttyS or ttyHS...
What really did the trick was the Debian 4.16.0-2 mentioned above as well. This 
one brought back the ports on the normal ttyS names on 16.04!

Title:
  Support Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) HS-UART serdev slaves over tty

Status in linux-oem package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux-oem source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Support Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) HS-UART serdev slaves over tty

  On systems using Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) SoC's, slave devices connected on
  HSUART1/2 ports are described by the ACPI BIOS as virtual hardware using
  HID's INT3511/INT3512 [1].

  As a consequence, HW manufacturers have complete freedom to install any
  devices on-board as long as they can be accessed over serial tty
  interface. Once such device is Dell Edge 3002 IoT Gateway which sports
  ZigBee & GPS devices on the HS-UART ports 1 & 2 respectively.

  Post 4.15, with CONFIG_SERIAL_DEV_BUS=y, serdev port controller driver
  handles the enumeration for the slaves connected on these ports. Also,
  /dev/ttySx device nodes for these ports are no longer exposed to the
  userspace.

  This driver has been submitted upstream and is under review. This issue has
  been identified as a regression in 4.15 and multiple solutions are being
  explored. Meanwhile, to support customer and maintain release schedule,
  this driver needs to be in Ubuntu 4.15 based kernels.

  The impact is limited to systems based on Intel Atom E38XX (Baytrail-I)
  SoC's.
