commit 7400ce7ee9595432b2a1402b6ffcac9faf38d9ae (v3.4.92-76-g7400ce7ee959)
was a backport of commit ebebd49a8eab5e9aa1b1f8f1614ccc3c2120f886 upstream
("8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port")
However, in the context of 3.4.x kernels, the pci setup code was
expecting a struct uart_port and not a struct uart_8250_port, leading to
the following concerning warnings:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c: In function ‘pci_brcm_trumanage_setup’:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1086:2: warning: passing argument 3 of ‘pci_default_setup’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
int ret = pci_default_setup(priv, board, port, idx);
^
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1036:1: note: expected ‘struct uart_port *’ but argument is of type ‘struct uart_8250_port *’
pci_default_setup(struct serial_private *priv,
^
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c: At top level:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1746:3: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
.setup = pci_brcm_trumanage_setup,
^
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c:1746:3: warning: (near initialization for ‘pci_serial_quirks[56].setup’) [enabled by default]
I'd also expect the initialization to not function correctly, and
perhaps dereference random garbage due to this. Since the uart_port
is a field within the uart_8250_port, the adaptation to fix these
warnings is a straightforward removal of a layer of indirection.

[Only build tested; I don't have this specific hardware, but the fix
seems straightforward enough to be almost self evident, I hope...]
