Subject: [PATCH] Fix comments in 8250.c
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2005 23:15:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1DL7Bn-0003CC-73@raistlin.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)
Fix the formatting of some comments in 8250.c, and add a note
that the register_serial / unregister_serial shouldn't be used
in new code.
We do this here in preference to adding to linux/serial.h, since
that is used by a number of non-8250 drivers which pretend to be
8250. It is not known whether it would be appropriate to do so.
