This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: sh-sci: Fix setting SCSCR_TIE while transferring data
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-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: serial: sh-sci: Fix setting SCSCR_TIE while transferring data
We disable transmission interrupt (clear SCSCR_TIE) after all data has been transmitted
(if uart_circ_empty(xmit)). While transmitting, if the data is still in the tty buffer,
re-enable the SCSCR_TIE bit, which was done at sci_start_tx().
This is unnecessary processing, wasting CPU operation if the data transmission length is large.
And further, transmit end, FIFO empty bits disabling have also been performed in the step above.
