Hi Christina,

Thanks for pushing the UART support forward. It's much appreciated.

Unfortunately, your latest patchset (V4) had compilation issues, broke
the ft260 I2C driver, and lost the data on the RX line at higher than
4800 baud rates. To shorten the cycle, it will be better that I submit
the code from my repository. Otherwise, I will need to review the new
patch set and retest everything again.

Also, I want to cover more corner cases, and then I will submit the
patchset with your and Daniel's credentials.

Jiri, there is a pending patchset related to the GPIO support -
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg83937.html
The ft260 chip has multifunctional pins, and their configuration affects
the UART operation. The GPIO patchset adds this part. I am considering
rebasing it above the UART code discussed in this email thread.
I wonder whether resubmitting the new patch set that includes UART and
multifunctional pins (GPIO) support will be a better approach.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Michael
