I need a "real" name here, and on the From: line in order to ba able to
apply anything.  Use whatever you sign legal documents with please.

Why can't you just use the 8250_pci.c driver here instead of a whole
separate one?  What does this hardware need that is so different that
you can not just add to the normal pci_boards[] array in that code?

If you can not do that, then you need to explain in great detail why
that is in the changelog comment in order for us to be able to accept
this code.

thanks,
