commit 96a5d18b upstream. The Exar XR17V358 chip usually provides only 8 ports. But two chips can be combined to act as a single 16 port chip. Therefor one chip is configured as master the second as slave by connecting the mode pin to VCC (master) or GND (slave). Then the master chip is reporting a different device-id depending on whether a slave is detected or not. The UARTs 8-15 are addressed from 0x2000-0x3fff. So the offset of 0x400 from UART to UART can be used to address all 16 ports as before.
