Previously I have posted these five patches as part of the larger CPU
support patch set. I am separating them out now as I have
incorporated changes as suggested by Alan Cox, and these are ready for
review now.
Changes from previous version:
* I/O functions now called serial_{in,out}.
* UART_BUG_OCTEON_IIR workaround moved to OCTEON serial_in function
and out of this patch set.
Since these are the only non-mips specific patches required for OCTEON
cpu support, it is necessary to get these Signed-off-by before the
full OCTEON patch set can proceed. Also since serial is lacking
active maintainers, I am sending directly to akpm and Alan in hopes
that one or more of them will review the patches.
Five patches to follow.
David Daney (5):
8250: Don't clobber spinlocks.
8250: Serial driver changes to support future Cavium OCTEON serial
patches.
Serial: Allow port type to be specified when calling
serial8250_register_port.
8250: Allow port type to specify bugs that are not probed for.
Serial: UART driver changes for Cavium OCTEON.
