I think we have to ensure that ->serial_in() always points
to some function that doesn't immediately panic, though that
could be an empty dummy like

default:
p->serial_in = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT) ?
io_serial_in : no_serial_in;
p->serial_out = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT) ?
io_serial_out : no_serial_out;

Ideally we'd make mem_serial_in() the default function
and only use io_serial_in() when UPIO_PORT is selected,
but that still causes a NULL pointer dereference when
a platform initializes a 8250 like

static struct plat_serial8250_port serial_platform_data[] = {
{
.iobase = 0x3f8, /* NULL pointer */
.irq = IRQ_ISA_UART,
.uartclk = 1843200,
/* default .iotype = UPIO_PORT, */
},

so I think an empty function plus a warning is best here.

Thanks a lot! Let's hope we can manage to get this merged at last.
