From TI's data manual, it is said this is a 16C750 compatible UART. So could it 
be called an 9250 compatible UART?

Sure, it is OK for me.

Yes, it does. I thought re-initilization is necessary and found that is also ok 
to inherit the u-boot setup just after finishing the patch. Well, in this case, 
things are much easier :-)
