I don't think anyone has submitted any source patches to provide it.
There has been some discussion in the past......

That would be great.  If you would like to submit it as a patch someday,
that would be even greater :-).  What are you connecting at each end
of the port?  NMSI, TDM, custom software?

Another part of your project will be writing a driver.  In the past,
the accepted suggestion was to not modify the uart driver, as that
is a _uart_ driver, not an SCC driver.  You can use that as a model
to create, say, hdlc.c......Then just ensure you don't try to configure
the SCC in both places (and there  may need to be a little knowledge
about each one in every driver).
