I thought you said there were no more issues? :-)

This is how long to wait after receiving a close request for characters to be 
sent out before actually closing the device.  I just used the same value as the 
CPM serial driver.

Oops.

I didn't want to add any serial functionality that wasn't in the CPM serial 
driver, mostly because I don't really understand the technical details of serial 
communication at this level.  I figured if it's okay for the CPM driver not to 
handle modem control, then the QE driver doesn't have to do it either.

Same answer!

I suppose you want me to post another version of this patch?
