Subject: Re: [PATCH/RFC v1 1/1] tty: serial: 8250_dma: use sgl with 2 nents to
 take care of buffer wrap

As I stated earlier, from the DMA and TTY perspective, this looks all 
good™. So I welcome this.

 From the devices perspective, obviously testers needed ;). I believe we 
can merge this in 6.12-rc1 (or even 6.11-rc1?) and see. So please post a 
non-RFC patch.
