Please can you combine this with the comment that follows "This is not
intended to be a full emulation" etc so as people are not accidentally
mislead into thinking this is a proper UART emulator. (Also you have a
missed a "PL011" in that other comment)

It might also be worth expanding on what "hardcoded" means, i.e. a
single status register (with a fixed value) and a single byte transmit
register.

The rest looks good, thanks.

Ian.
