"Luming Yu" <luming.yu@gmail.com> says:
  There is a "ttyS1 irq is -1" problem observed on tiger4 which cause the
  serial port broken.
  It is because that there is __no__ ACPI IRQ resource assigned for the
  serial port.  So the value of the IRQ for the port is never changed since it
  got initialized to -1.
If PNP supplies a valid IRQ, use it.  Otherwise, leave port.irq == 0, which
means "no IRQ" to the serial core.
