Hi all, This patch series, against next-20160414, introduces Generic Serial Device Tree Bindings, and converts drivers using vendor-specific DT properties to the generic properies where appropriate. The Generic Serial Device Tree Bindings document a set of generic properties for describing UARTs in a device tree: 1. The GPIO modem control properties are currently duplicated across hardware-specific binding documentation, 2. The property for dedicated RTS/CTS hardware flow control lines is already supported by several drivers, albeit with a vendor-specific prefix, hence make it generic. Whether these generic properties apply to a particular device still depends on the DT bindings of the actual device. The old (deprecated) vendor-specific properties are still supported by the drivers for backwards compatibility. Actual DTS files are to be updated later, after this series has been integrated into mainline. Thanks for your comments!
