You can probe additional serial drivers if you like. U-Boot only
probes things in a 'lazy' manner so far. Perhaps you could submit a
patch which probes all serial devices? That is just a case of using
uclass_first_device()...uclass_next_device() to iterate through them.
I suppose we could have a CONFIG option to enable this.

Not guilty but I did port a lot of things to driver model.

That would indeed be useful. I was facing a similar issue of having to
initialize multiple UARTs, and ended up probing additional instances
manually from the board file using the respective DM functions
(unreleased code). Not pretty but it worked. I'll be happy to test such
a patch if created.
