Same problem on an IB8000 Atom Braswell board using 16.04. Also shows the two ports when checking with acpidump, but the bionic OEM kernel mentioned here did not fix it when installed on my 16.04. It booted fine but no ttyS or ttyHS... What really did the trick was the Debian 4.16.0-2 mentioned above as well. This one brought back the ports on the normal ttyS names on 16.04!

As a consequence, HW manufacturers have complete freedom to install any devices on-board as long as they can be accessed over serial tty interface. Once such device is Dell Edge 3002 IoT Gateway which sports ZigBee & GPS devices on the HS-UART ports 1 & 2 respectively. Post 4.15, with CONFIG_SERIAL_DEV_BUS=y, serdev port controller driver handles the enumeration for the slaves connected on these ports. Also, /dev/ttySx device nodes for these ports are no longer exposed to the userspace. This driver has been submitted upstream and is under review. This issue has been identified as a regression in 4.15 and multiple solutions are being explored. Meanwhile, to support customer and maintain release schedule, this driver needs to be in Ubuntu 4.15 based kernels. The impact is limited to systems based on Intel Atom E38XX (Baytrail-I) SoC's.
