Actually, the whole thing seems like duplication to me.  The SC16IS7X0 
parts are designed to be 16550-compatible (hence the duplication in the 
register map), and so I would vote for putting the driver into the 
drivers/tty/serial/8250 framework.  There's really not much difference 
between these parts and other 16550 parts except that they are reached 
over the SPI/I2C bus.
