Hi Laxman,

Nit: nvidia-tegra.txt would be sufficient.

Drop port-number. Use an alias instead (/aliases/serial#)

Otherwise the binding looks fine.

? This looks like a stale hunk

Or simply:
	tup->rts_active = !!(mctrl & TIOCM_RTS)
	set_rts(tup, tup->rts_active);

The driver seems rather verbose in this regard. It isn't something I'd
nak over, but it does increase the maintenance burden.

Since this is a new driver, and all new board support will use device
tree, when would this platform_data pointer get set? Can you drop the
platform_data support code entirely?

The driver itself is a lot of code. I've not gone through it in the
detail that I'd like to, but it appears to be fine. Fix up the above
comments and you can add my:
