What changed since v1? Always include a changelog here.

Also you ignored my comment on the patch Subject. Including "drivers: "
is never correct. You should also mention which driver you're changing
since it's not done subtree-wide for tty. 

Again, look at the git log for the driver you're changing. In this case
it should have been something like:

	serial: 8250: use sysfs_emit...
