This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: 8250: don't bind to SMSC IrCC IR port
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: serial: 8250: don't bind to SMSC IrCC IR port
SMSC IrCC SIR/FIR port should not be bound to by
(legacy) serial driver so its own driver (smsc-ircc2)
can bind to it.
