There should be tabs there... I will re-tab them in v3 to make sure.

I think I was a bit over paranoid here. I was considering there are other
3rd party cards supported in this driver that use uart_port->private_data
differently or don't set it. I agree they aren't really needed in the end.

Yes there is some confusion on which should be used.
Thanks for the clarification. I will convert in v3.

The Exar UART uses a bit-bang I2C interface for the EEPROM so a delay is
needed for the I2C bit time (2us = 500khz). This is legacy code so I will
double check this is actually needed and add comments if it is.

I will fix.

Thanks for the feedback!
