No. I tested the tip of tty-linus (v6.5-rc4-9-gdfe2aeb226fd) which includes
above commit, but still see the problem. sparc images also still stall after
the "cannot create duplicate filename" message.
I bisected the sparc problem - it also bisects to commit d962de6ae51f.

The problem affects all mips boot tests, all sparc boot tests, as well as
arm sx1, ppc bamboo and sam460ex emulations. As far as I can see, those
call serial8250_register_8250_port() without calling serial8250_setup_port()
and thus don't set port_id. I am only testing a few of those, so I strongly
suspect that all similar callers of serial8250_register_8250_port() are
affected (i.e., almost all of them) if they register more than one serial port.
