The RID is fine. It should always be 0.

It looks like the mapping is wrong. That is, uart(4) gets to
probe 8 ports but rejects 6. I would add debugging information
to puc(4) and in particular to where resources are assigned
to ports so that we can see what the BAR and offsets within the
BAR are for each port.

FYI,
