[PATCH] Open Firmware serial port driver

Wed Feb 14 07:35:38 EST 2007
This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an
OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy
serial support.
It will automatically take over devices that come from the
legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device.
In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port
in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing
the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property
must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the
legacy serial driver to check for this.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann at de.ibm.com>

Who will handle this driver? It is powerpc specific and
hooks into powerpc code at one place, but it's also a
new driver for the (orphaned) serial layer.
Could either Paul or Andrew merge this, or whoever
else feels responsible?
