Why not just store a copy of the UCSRxB register inside your Uart structure?

typedef struct
{
   ...other members...

   volatile uint8_t *ucsrb;
} Uart;

Then initialize the member

fp->ucsrb = &UCSR0B;

and in your putc routine:

*fp->ucsrb |= ( 1 << UDRIE );

If the shifts for the interrupt enable are different you can store
those in the structure as well.
