Hi Geert, Thank you for the patches. For patches 3-6, 13, 15-16 and 22 and 24, Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I'm not sure I'd bother with patch 25/25, but I'm not against merging it either. I'd be surprised if the serial driver still worked at all on SH :-) On Thursday 19 November 2015 19:38:39 Geert Uytterhoeven wrote: > Hi, > > This patch series adds support to the Renesas SCI serial driver for > - the optional external clock on (H)SCI(F) and some SCIFA, where this > pin can serve as a clock input, > - the optional clock sources for the Baud Rate Generator for External > Clock (BRG), as found on some SCIF variants and on HSCIF.
