THAT's a problem. Work as a serial port, probably. Console? Probably NOT.
man 4 puc says:
BUGS
The current design of this driver keeps any com ports on these
cards from easily being used as console. Of course, because
boards with those are PCI boards, they also suffer from dynamic
address assignment, which also means that they can't easily be
used as console.
Console ports are generally preferred to be something that doesn't move
around, and really nice if you can know what it is before booting.
And almost certainly, your system BIOS would not redirect to it, either.
