Subject: [PATCH v1 3/6] serial: 8250: Make uart_match_port() a 8250 specific function
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:39:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f707b41d462afcf7a2237869adece5fc16a9a77.1785489518.git.ukleinek@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785489518.git.ukleinek@kernel.org>

The 8250 driver conglomerate is the only user of this function and in
fact it already is 8250 specific as it uses hub6_match_port() which is
defined in drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_hub6.c unless the dummy
implementation is in use.
