On RSCI IP, a deadlock occurs during a FIFO overrun error, as it uses a
different register to clear the FIFO overrun error status.

I don't really see a need to add this field, as there are two alternatives...

1. You can just use CFCLR_ORERC directly here,
2. All of the CFCLR_*C clearing bits match the corresponding CSR_*
status bits, so you could do without the former, and thus use
params->overrun_mask here, too.

BTW, how is this related to "[PATCH] tty: serial: sh-sci: fix RSCI
FIFO overrun handling" [1], which is already applied (and which I
still don't fully understand the big picture behind. I'll reply there)?
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/20250923154707.1089900-1-cosmin-gabriel.tanislav.xa@renesas.com
commit ef8fef45c74b5a00 ("tty: serial: sh-sci: fix RSCI FIFO
overrun handling") in v6.18-rc3.
