Hi, m32r_sio --------
Maintainer: Hirokazu Takata Please clean up the m32r_sio driver, removing whatever bits of code aren't absolutely necessary. Specifically, I'd like to see the following addressed: - the usage of SERIAL_IO_HUB6 (this driver doesn't support hub6 cards) - SERIAL_IO_* should be UPIO_* - __register_m32r_sio, register_m32r_sio, unregister_m32r_sio, m32r_sio_get_irq_map (this driver doesn't support PCMCIA cards, all of which are based on 8250-compatible devices.) - early_serial_setup (should we really have the function name duplicated across different hardware drivers?) au1x00_uart ----------- Maintainer: unknown (akpm - any ideas?) This is a complete clone of 8250.c, which includes all the 8250-specific structure names. Specifically, I'd like to see the following addressed: - Please clean this up to use au1x00-specific names. - this driver is lagging behind with fixes that the other drivers are getting. Is au1x00_uart actually maintained? - the usage of UPIO_HUB6 (this driver doesn't support hub6 cards) - __register_serial, register_serial, unregister_serial (this driver doesn't support PCMCIA cards, all of which are based on 8250-compatible devices.) - early_serial_setup (should we really have the function name duplicated across different hardware drivers?) The main reason is I wish to kill off uart_register_port and uart_unregister_port, but these drivers are using it.
