This is the one you want. You'll need to add vendor 14a1 device 8 to the
puc tables. Do you need help with this? It will be a bit tricky because
each of these defines several ports, I think.

This is something else.

That's right. Ask me if you need help. There's several different ways that
hardware vendors slice and dice the UARTs, and there's no standard. Clock
rate may be an issue too, since newer cards have faster baud clocks to
support higher rates, but this means to get the right right you have to
use  a different divisor than the older 16550A typically needed. Luckily
this is well supported.
