Dear Greg KH, I am Kumaravel Thiagarajan from Microchip India. We are working on a PCIe based multi-instance UART device. Based on the Linux community feedback few months back, we had written it as a custom driver inside drivers/tty/serial/8250. Now this custom driver is requiring a DWORD FIFO access for both Tx and Rx, and I am in the process of changing my driver code. Can I model my custom driver on serial drivers present in drivers/tty/serial/ directory? I am implementing my functions for uart_ops structure and the necessary ISR in a separate file mchp_pci1xxxx_uart.c inside the drivers/tty/serial/ directory. I wish this custom UART driver to get through Linux community submission. Do you see any risk in this approach? Do you have any suggestions? Thank You.
