As generic serial is gone too, cfr. commit
bb2a97e9ccd525dd9c3326988e8c676d15d3e12a ("Staging: delete generic_serial
drivers"), I'll remove the atari_scc driver. It has to be resurrected as a new
preferred-type-of-serial-driver-of-the-day driver anyway.
Guess I've seen that coming... I had looked at other existing SCC
drivers in the tree and Sun, SGI and Mac all had variants of it with
different quirks. Enough to base a clean restart on. What is today's
preferred-type-of-serial-driver-of-the-day driver framework, if I may
ask?
Good question! Last year it was _not_ drivers/serial...

Funny... so "fortunately" we never found time to move the m68k serial drivers
to driver/serial/? Long live procrastination ;-)
So let's ask the experts: what will be the preferred serial driver framework
in 2012?
