So -next has now been broken for a while on a number of ARM platforms
because of this (they simply cannot boot), and no progress has been made
towards resolving this problem.

Can we please drop this series (at least commits 7b753f3 and following)
from -next until is has been reworked and reviewed?

I don't have any patches in my -next tree, everything is in Linus's tree
now.  So if I've missed something, or need to revert something, please
let me know specifcally what to do.

Gahhh... Given that there is no obvious fix, that the discussion has
stalled and that the author of the series is apparently away, the
following patches should be reverted:

8cd90e50d140 uart: pl011: Add support to ZTE ZX296702 uart
09dcc7dfc05b uart: pl011: Improve LCRH register access decision
2c096a9eedc6 uart: pl011: Introduce register look up table
7b753f318d14 uart: pl011: Introduce register accessor
534e14e2293d uart: pl011: Rename regs with enumeration

(7b753f318d14 being the one breaking everything, but it makes more sense
to revert the whole series until it is properly fixed and reviewed).

For the reverts (git revert 534e14e2293d~1..8cd90e50d140):

  Acked-by: Will Deacon [off-list ref]
  Tested-by: Will Deacon [off-list ref]

We can discuss what could've and should've happened 'til we're blue in
the face but, in the meantime, I'd like my serial console back.

Greg -- any chance you could send these for -rc1, please?

Ok, now reverted, I'll send the pull request later today.

thanks,
