I don't know anything about this chip so don't know if it helps but if 
it's any way similar to ESCC (and the ESCC2 name is not just marketing) 
then there's some emulation of that in hw/char/escc.c that you may want to 
look at.

Maybe you can get away with setting these to the values the driver would 
set and hard coding it for now just to get some output. Then you can 
ignore the corresponding registers which could simplify initial device 
model.
