Only copy in the fields we need. I suggest you to send all the 8250 patches to linux-serial@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and most probably the LKML. I don't think the relevant maintainers read this list -- note that they will be the general Linux maintainers as the serial subsystem doesn't have a dedicated one at the moment. Please always consult the MAINTAINERS file before posting patches (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches too). Maciej
