Hi,
I would like the following patch to be applied to the stable
kernel 6.6:

3837a0379533 serial: sc16is7xx: improve regmap debugfs by using one
regmap per port

As noted in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231211171353.2901416-1-hugo@xxxxxxxxxxx/raw :
---------------------
I did not originally add a "Cc: stable" tag for the above mentioned
commit, as it was intended only to improve debugging using debugfs. But
since then, I have been able to confirm that it also fixes a long
standing bug in our system where the Tx interrupt are no longer enabled
at some point when transmitting large RS-485 paquets that completely
fill the FIFO and thus require multiple and subsequent writes to the
FIFO once space in it becomes available. I have been investigating why,
but so far I haven't found the exact cause, altough I suspect it has
something to do with regmap caching...
---------------------

It applies cleanly and was tested on this kernel using a
custom board with a Variscite IMX8MN NANO SOM, a NewHaven LCD, and two
SC16IS752 on a SPI bus. The four UARTs are using RS-485 mode.

Thank you,
Hugo Villeneuve
