It's not what I meant.

I've a follow-up series on top of this which depeds on uart_xmit_advance() 
being available (thus I'd have need it in tty-next). However, now I'm 
postponing the follow-up series while Jiri sorts out the tx loops.

This first part of the series and Jiri's tx loop series don't even touch 
the same files.

I guess I should resend these if you dropped these from your queue?
