[PATCH v6 00/15] tty: serial: 8250: Fix checkpatch warnings

I thinned out the Cc list and left over only maintainers and major
contributors to the code.

> Yep!

Phillip and me are kind of git magicians. We can make code disappear during
rebase :-) The piece of code was part of a commit, but it never made it into
the final patch file.
 
I hope, there are no major issues with our patch set.

This patch set fixes several checkpatch warnings in tty/serial/8250.

Patch 1/15:  Adds missing spaces (mainly to function/macro headers)
Patch 2/15:  Replace spaces with tabs wherever possible
Patch 3/15:  Slight patch which moves an opening curly brace
Patch 4/15:  Fixes multiline comment style
Patch 5/15:  Removes else blocks after return statements
Patch 6/15:  Slight patch which moves EXPORT_SYMBOL macro to correct
position
Patch 7/15:  Slight patch which removes an unneccessary line continuation
Patch 8/15:  Slight patch which adds parentheses to a macro definition
Patch 9/15:  Merges user-visible multiline strings to a single line
Patch 10/15: Replace printk by dev_* or pr_* where appropriate
Patch 11/15: Remove orphaned debug macro
Patch 12/15: Fix warnings in dev_dbg by adding two casts
Patch 13/15: Fixes code indentation
Patch 14/15: Add a generic port macro
Patch 15/15: Refactor a switch/case statement

Remaining checkpatch warnings after applying this patch series:

-line over 80 characters
	This error mostly occurs in serial_cs.c, which contains long-lined
	macro calls. However, splitting these calls into multiple lines would
	not increase readability.

-externs should be avoided in .c files
	This occurs in 8250_hp300.c. There is no corresponding header file
	the extern statement could be moved to. It could be moved to 8250.h
	but this would affect other .c files.

-Use #include <linux/*.h> instead of <asm/*.h>
	This warning has been left open for more experienced kernel hackers.
	This patch series is about style issues. We do not intend to alter
	the code behavior.
-struct uart_ops should normally be const
	This warning only occurs in 8250_core.c. The corresponding struct
	cannot be declared as const because it is altered in
	serial8250_isa_init_ports(). Maybe a checkpatch exception should
	be added for this particular warning.

-quoted string split across lines
	These strings were ignored because they otherwise would exceed
	80 characters in a single line. These particular strings use
	format specifiers, which break the ability to grep for them anyway.
