Did you have reviewed this patch? Please skip this patch if not
reviewed.

The F81504/508/512 is multi-function card. It contains
Serial/GPIO functions. It maybe enlarge the scale of 8250_pci.c and
make it less maintainable if we add GPIOLIB support into 8250_pci.c

Could I split the F81504/508/512 driver from 8250_pci.c into a
new module file and implements GPIOLIB?

Thanks
