Why the hell is Intel using UART block from Synopsys in their SoCs? 
It also looks like AMD, Marvell and various other RISC-V vendors use the same UART controller. On one side it makes sense, on the other… what?

(Protip: If you’re trying to use UART straight from SoC as platform UART, you need to add 8250_dw to initramfs, otherwise console doesn’t spawn - even if you add console=ttyS{4...8},115200 to kernel cmdline)
