A documentação do EXAR estava correta. Este fórum é suportado pelos kernels Linux modernos. Este problema para mim foi que meu kernel foi configurado para suportar apenas 4 portas seriais, total.
No Hummingboard, os UARTs on-chip estavam usando os primeiros 4 UARTs. Eu reconfigurei o kernel para 16 portas seriais, max. Reconstruiu meu kernel seguindo o método específico do debian . Reiniciado.

Parece que eu não quebrei o barramento PCI.
O kernel encontrou os UARTs?
