Posting an update. I applied some new firmware and reset some device ID's on the pci-e serial card. A tool from the vendor fixed the problem with pci device 02:01.0 so it's description matched 02:00.0. Booting this configuration resulted in a unusable eth0 due to interrupt conflicts. I rebooted with the options "8250.nr_uarts=8 irqpoll", and now have two working serial ports. So, not really a dell issue, but definetly a problem with the pci-e hardware.
