Not quite, but it got me on the right track. I needed to set port->type
before calling uart_add_one_port().

Now it gets into my code. Previously, it had never even called any of my
code. None of it. Unfortunately, I ran it and it segfaulted. Turns out
that Greg's tinyserial driver didn't implement ops->set_termios() and
that was the cause. Implementing that got everything working.

Now I get in my dmesg:
[   73.813893] ttytiny: Tiny serial driver
[   83.714486] Enter: tiny_startup
[   83.717676] Enter: tiny_set_termios
[   83.721193] Enter: tiny_set_mctrl
[   85.463793] Enter: tiny_stop_rx
[   85.466987] Enter: tiny_set_mctrl
[   85.470328] Enter: tiny_shutdown

And that looks very reasonable. (It was produced by cat /dev/ttytiny0,
for your information).

Thanks a lot for your help! That problem had me completely stumped for a
couple of days now :)
