Hello Alan I have merged all the the rs485 iocts in serial_core. So now there is only two TIOC[GS]RS485 handling code (one in serial_core, and one in crisv10). ricardo@neopili:~/curro/qtec/linux-upstream$ git grep TIOCGRS drivers drivers/tty/serial/crisv10.c: case TIOCGRS485: drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c: case TIOCGRS485: ricardo@neopili:~/curro/qtec/linux-upstream$ git diff --stat 69784fa539efa477f39b5a849c27d5e630e0db27 drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c | 41 ++--------------------------------------- drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_fintek.c | 8 +++++--- drivers/tty/serial/atmel_serial.c | 78 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------------------------------- drivers/tty/serial/max310x.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------------------- drivers/tty/serial/mcf.c | 37 +++++++------------------------------ drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c | 69 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------------------------ drivers/tty/serial/sc16is7xx.c | 57 ++++++++++++--------------------------------------------- drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/serial_8250.h | 3 --- include/linux/serial_core.h | 3 +++ 10 files changed, 137 insertions(+), 269 deletions(-) Shall I send it to the list, or you are almost done with your patch? Of course as a next iteration I can move it to the tty layer, but I think it looks more elegant this way. Best regards!
