Subject: [PATCH 0/7] serial: 8250: restart console after suspend

Hi Greg,

This series fixes 8250 console resume from system sleep when the
console has been powered down, even though consoles aren't
suspending (eg., no_console_suspend on the kernel command line).

Patch 1 refactors the overly-complicated fall-through logic for
determining if the port should be shutdown.

Patches 2-5 refactor serial8250_do_set_termios() so that the
divisor programming can be used to reprogram the divisor when the
port has been powered-down during system sleep.

[ Patch 3, "serial: 8250: Refactor LCR computation" is, strictly
  speaking, not a required cleanup for this series. However, it
  will facilitate re-use by the omap_8250 driver.
]

Patch 6 implements the console restart by cribbing from an idea
first put forth by Doug Anderson <dianders@...omium.org> to
use the scratch register to discover the port has been powered-down.
This patch implements this restart for all 8250 drivers _except_
omap_8250 (which has a different divisor scheme) and 8250_dw
which unfortunately declares itself to be a PORT_8250 type (fixing
this in the 8250_dw driver will enable console restart for DW ports).

Patch 7 is a straggler fix which became obvious once all the
refactoring cleaned up serial8250_do_set_termios().
