Dear everyone, maybe I'd like to suggest one or two slight changes to the serial subsytem. 1.) make struct uart_8250_port public, i.e. move it to some header file, such as drivers/serial/8250.h or include/linux/serial_8250.h . I need to access its "acr" member from my own translation unit (for the purposes of 16C950 TEMT-based RS485 RX/TX steering). 2.) consider removing some unnecessary init stuff related to the 16C950 from 8250.c. It harms my 16C950 RX/TX steering setup, by resetting the acr register and the acr member within the struct uart_8250_port. See the attached small patch. It also turns "struct uart_8250_port serial8250_ports[]" into a public symbol, to make the structs accessible from other translation units. If you've read this far, thanks for your kind attention...
