Hi Pascal,

This means removing support for some debugging code in amiserial.c
(SERIAL_PARANOIA_CHECK option), which was checking a magic field which
doesn't currently exist in the struct. That code hasn't built at least
since git.

Removing the definition from the header is safe anyway as that code was
from another driver and not including it.

You might as well drop the whole comment block, as no options are left.

With that fixed:

BTW, there's a similar serial_paranoia_check() in drivers/tty/cyclades.c,
which is active, but doesn't serve much purpose, IMHO.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
