Your code states, "force BE if lpuart_is_be, don't care otherwise".
This semantics looks questionable for code reviewer.
If driver handles endian, should't it be explicit in both cases?
And if indeed driver means handling BE explicitly, but don't caring
otherwise, maybe variable name should suggest that (i.e. "force_be")?

Although driver maintainer could think differently. I won't insist on this.
