Re: [CFT:PATCH] Removing possible wrong asm/serial.h inclusions

["Mark A. Greer" <mgreer@mvista.com>]

All,

This was sent to linuxppc-embedded by Russel King.  In case you missed it,
I'm forwarding it here:

asm/serial.h is supposed to contain the definitions for the architecture
specific 8250 ports for the 8250 driver.  It may also define BASE_BAUD,
but this is the base baud for the architecture specific ports _only_.

Therefore, nothing other than the 8250 driver should be including this
header file.  In order to move towards this goal, here is a patch which
removes some of the more obvious incorrect includes of the file.

MIPS and PPC has rather a lot of stuff in asm/serial.h, some of it looks
related to non-8250 ports.  Hence, it's not trivial to conclude that
these includes are indeed unnecessary, so can mips and ppc people please
test this patch carefully.

Thanks.
