This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Revert "serial: uartps: Fix error path when alloc failed"
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: Revert "serial: uartps: Fix error path when alloc failed"
This reverts commit 32cf21ac4edd6c0d5b9614368a83bcdc68acb031.
As Johan says, this driver needs a lot more work and these changes are
only going in the wrong direction:
