Subject: [RESEND][PATCH v3 0/2] serial: 8250: Fixes for Oxford Semiconductor
 950 UARTs

Hi,

 Resending as requested; with EndRun participants removed, as clearly they 
have not been interested.

 Here's v3 of the outstanding fixes for Oxford Semiconductor 950 UARTs.  
As the change for the default FIFO rx trigger level has been already 
merged with commit d7aff291d069 ("serial: 8250: Define RX trigger levels 
for OxSemi 950 devices") only one patch of the original series remains.

 However in the course of preparing v3 of that change I have noticed that 
the EndRun device is actually also an OxSemi 952 device in disguise (note 
that the OxSemi chips have fully customer-programmable PCI vendor:device 
ID values).  Therefore it requires a similar fix to the base baud rate as 
with commit 6cbe45d8ac93 ("serial: 8250: Correct the clock for OxSemi PCIe 
devices"), and also duplicate code can be removed.

 I have therefore added a fix for the EndRun device as 1/2 in this version 
and the original outstanding change is now 2/2, updated accordingly, also 
for a change in the handling of the MCR made with commit b4a29b94804c 
("serial: 8250: Move Alpha-specific quirk out of the core").

 As noted in the course of v2 review I don't believe the Linux kernel has 
a policy for any of its subsystems to require rewriting parts of existing 
code to fix bugs or internal API deficiencies as a prerequisite for bug 
fix (or even functional improvement) acceptance.  Therefore I consider 
this v3 of the series final and I am not going to continue pursuing this 
submission any further unless there is an actual technical defect (a bug, 
a coding style issue, etc.) within this series itself.

 Please apply.
