Subject: [PATCH 1/7] serial: sc16is7xx: fix snprintf format specifier in sc16is7xx_regmap_name()

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@...onoff.com>

Change snprint format specifier from %d to %u since port_id is unsigned.

I did not originally add a "Cc: stable" tag for commit 3837a0379533 ("serial: sc16is7xx: improve regmap debugfs by using one regmap per port")
as it was intended only to improve debugging using debugfs. But
since then, I have been able to confirm that it also fixes a long standing
bug in our system where the Tx interrupt are no longer enabled at some
point when transmitting large RS-485 paquets (> 64 bytes, which is the size
of the FIFO). I have been investigating why, but so far I haven't found the
exact cause, altough I suspect it has something to do with regmap caching.
Therefore, I have added it as a prerequisite for this patch so that it is
automatically added to the stable kernels.
