Isn't that what the startup function is doing now - more or less. I
think 3 and 4 are swapped to release the lock and then do the
request_irq, but I believe that should be OK.
The startup function configures the HW. Clears the ISR. Enables the
intended IRQs and then does the request_irq call.

It's done within spin_lock_irqsave, which gives us at least locally
disabled IRQs. I guess we could add a disabling all IRQs in the UART
core, but it should not really be necessary.

Sure.
