This file models a single UART, I don't think a such assert belongs here.
Although it is named EXYNOS4210, I'm pretty sure it should works to
model UARTs from other SoCs from the Exynos4xxx series.
There are no restriction on newer SoCs to have > 4 UARTs.
For this particular Exynos4210 SoC, the 4 channels are correctly limited
in exynos4210_init().
