No need to Cc to people whose tags you already have. The Git tools will add
them to the Cc list.

In general, Cc is better to be either supplied with --cc or be located after
the cutter '---' line, so they won't pollute the commit message.

Code wise LGTM, thanks.
Minor remarks below, with them addressed,

You can assign here

	struct uart_port *port = port_dev->port;

and save 2 LoCs.

If you want to have assignment separated, this blank line may be dropped.
