I don't think DT would hold that info. (Fix me if I'm wrong.) Actually this 
shift
comes from the different register size between OMAP UART (32-bit) and common 
8250
UART (8-bit). And we would like to share the offset macros between the two 
similar
UART. For those UART doesn't share offset macros with others or they do have 
same
register size, the shift is not necessary.
