This variable spread on every SoC that is using the atmel_serial.c
driver can be included directly into the latter.

This will allow to compile multiple soc in the same kernel.

Sounds like a good idea, but...

I doubt this assignment will work if you remove the struct above. I did not
look at how AT91 does this, will it be similar affected?

none the still exist in the kernel, its just moved
