Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 2/2] serial:sunplus-uart:Add Sunplus SoC UART Driver

Hi, Greg KH :

In patch v1 coding quite mess, it is almost 2000 LOCs.
For down size code under 1000 LOCs, I decide to drop DMA function code
after patch v3.
I think that's the biggest difference compared with 8250.
Without DMA function, like you said it looks like 8250 variant.
I think I should put DMA function back in next submit.

Another question for why I need PORT_SLUNPLUS ?
I just check many other uart driver, almost all driver define their
own PORT number.
Actually, I didn't know about it.
Maybe some device like bluetooth(use uart port) need autoconfig.
Then it will call ioctl with TIOCSERCONFIG.
I don't have tool for calling type/config/request/release/verify.

Regards,
Hammer Hsieh
