[Adding Tony Prisk and linux-serial] Hi Roel, While this looks like a good fix, the commit message is a bit confusing. How about something like the message between the scissor lines below: ---->8---- [PATCH] serial: vt8500: add missing braces Due to missing braces on an if statement, port will always be assigned -1 regardless of any alias entries in the dt, which was clearly not the intended behaviour. This patch adds the missing braces, fixing the issue. ---->8---- Also, while this is device tree related, you should Cc the driver maintainer when submitting driver changes. Cheers, Mark.
