But, I think the patch subject should be prefixed:
"serial: 8250_uniphier:"

Yeah thanks, that's difficult to script though.

Kernel development is hard :)

It is strange to process this per-platform
and to send out a giant series that
consists of 491 patches.

This is very trivial conversion.

I think it is better to have a single patch
to convert all files under drivers/tty/serial/,
with the patch subject "serial:".

The difficulty there is determining where these
subsystem spanning blocks should begin and end.

That could not be done for instance with drivers/net.

As I have suggested a few times, better still
would be to have a mechanism for scripted patches
applied possibly as single treewide patch.

Likely applied only at an -rc1.

The stated negatives to a treewide mechanism
have been difficulty to backport to -stable.

Perhaps a mechanism like

	git format-patch --stdout <treewide_commit_to_backport> | \
	git apply --include=<specific_files>

with some automated rewrite of the treewide patch subject
then commit could help.
