[PATCH 1/2] misc: aspeed: Add Aspeed UART routing control driver.

[Oskar Senft]

Thanks for the input!

I had a look at get_maintainer.pl, but thought I'd send it to you and Linus
first to get initial input since we had already talked about it.

I'll move it to drivers/soc/aspeed and will resend.

For clarification: Should I send to ALL of the people and lists that
get_maintainer.pl spits out?

Thanks
Oskar.
