serial.h v serial_core.h PORT_ defines?

Hi,
  I was playing with sparse and it flagged that in drivers/serial/8250.c
there is a duplicate initialiser in the uart_config[] array
(from Linus's git):

       [PORT_NS16550A] = {
                .name           = "NS16550A",
                .fifo_size      = 16,
                .tx_loadsz      = 16,
                .fcr            = UART_FCR_ENABLE_FIFO | UART_FCR_R_TRIG_10,
                .flags          = UART_CAP_FIFO | UART_NATSEMI,
        },

and
       [PORT_U6_16550A] = {
                .name           = "U6_16550A",
                .fifo_size      = 64,
                .tx_loadsz      = 64,
                .fcr            = UART_FCR_ENABLE_FIFO | UART_FCR_R_TRIG_10,
                .flags          = UART_CAP_FIFO | UART_CAP_AFE,
        },

now PORT_NS16550A is defined as 14 in serial_core.h:

#define PORT_NS16550A   14

and PORT_U6_16550A is defined as 14 in serial.h:

235dae5d (Philippe Langlais 2010-07-29 17:13:57 +0200  80) #define PORT_U6_16550A       14

I guess that might subtly break NS16550A users?

My assumption is that Philippe's addition should actually
be to the serial_core.h list which currently goes upto 18.

However, that leaves the question of why is there a set of nearly
but not quite idential defines in serial.h and serial_core.h?

(please leave me on cc for replies)
