Thereof 4 files, ~260 changes w/o gps demo and documentation/bindings.  

So what do you use for the serial devices? platform_device was vetoed
for that purpose by Greg.  

device tree?  

No.

This patchset from Rob is the way I have been saying it should be done
for years now.  Yes, a "bus" takes up more boilerplate code (blame me
for that), but overall, it makes the drivers simpler, and fits into the
rest of the kernel driver/device model much better.

The basic problem is that the bus should be tty_ports not uart, fix that
and the rest starts to make sense.
