This patch adds 9bit data possibility for serial_core. Please confirm that I did it right way at right place. I'll make atmel_serial driver for 9bit data later.
Please wrap your lines properly.

I'd rather wait to add this type of patch _after_ you have tested it and
verified that your driver works, and take that patch at the same time.

Otherwise, this is just added cruft that no one is using, and I'd have
to remove it :)
No one is using it because it is NOT implemented.
Then implement it.
Try to search internet for "9bit serial" to see how many people like to use it.
Again, then implement it, I can't add code to the kernel that no one
uses, that would be cruft and be deleted, right?
But I probably not bother to do it and I'll try some tricks with parity.
As many others.
Why not just implement it, then it can stay, right?

thanks,
