Russell,

Do you have any comments to these change?

Greg,

Do you have any idea on how to drive review on this patch? Seems
maintainer Russell is too busy and missing for this thread and others
do not have comments. Your comments are appreciated!

I would like to get Russell's opinion of this before merging it.

thanks,

greg k-h

Russell,

Could you help have a look at this patch? Thanks!

Hi Russell,

I think this version of the patch is trying to address the comment you
put on v1, i.e. instead of extending platform driver we should try to
probe ZTE UART from AMBA bus.

The solution here is to fake a AMBA peripheral ID which does not exist
on hardware with a magic number.  While it's working, it looks too
hackish, and doesn't really scale in the long run.  I hope that's also
the reason you are unwilling to provide your ACK :)

Unless you have a better solution to suggest, I would think that
platform driver is a sensible way to support the device, and will go
back to v1 approach.

Just found that Russell's email address changed.  Resend to the new
address.
