Are there any hardware revision numbers for the asc? If there are potentially
incompatible or backwards-compatible variants, it would be good to include
the version in this string.

I would also recommed adding a way to set the default baud rate through
a property. Following the example of the 8250 driver, you should probably
call that "current-speed".

I would not make it "default y".

This needs to be "depends on SERIAL_ST_ASC=y". You would get a link error
if you try to make SERIAL_ST_ASC a loadable module and SERIAL_ST_ASC_CONSOLE
built-in.

Please remove all forward declarations, by reordering the functions in
the way they are called.

Since this header file is only used in one place, just merge it into
the driver itself.

I don't know what the current policy is on allocating major/minor numbers,
but I'm sure you cannot just reuse one that is already used.
Documentation/devices.txt lists the ones that are officially assigned.
Can't you use dynamic allocation here?
