      [SERIAL] Fix another SMP deadlock with modem status signal changes · 1cc1381e
      Russell King authored
      The original fix sent to Ingo for stop_tx didn't take account that
      the start_tx and stop_tx methods can be called from the device
      specific code under the port spinlock.  Consequently, we move the
      spinlock to the callers of these methods.  Documentation updated
      to reflect the change.

      [PATCH] Serial driver stuff · 33c0d1b0
      Russell King authored
      The serial layer is restructured to allow less code duplication (and
      hence bug duplication) across various serial drivers.  Since ARM adds
      six extra serial drivers, maintaining six copies of serial.c was not
      my idea of fun.
      
      Therefore, we've ended up with a core serial driver, which knows about
      the interactions with the tty layer, and low-level hardware drivers,
      which know all about the hardware.  The interface between the two is
      described in "Documentation/serial/driver".
      
      This patch completely removes the old serial.c driver and its associated
      configuration options, as you requested at KS2002.  We keep a certain
      amount of configuration compatibility with the per-architecture serial.h
      file for the moment; this *will* be killed in the next round of patches.
      The biggest user of this is x86, and since I don't have an x86 box to
      test this stuff on, I think the changes are best kept separate.
