This driver adds support to the UART controller found on ARM MPS2 platform.Just few comments (have neither time not big desire to do full review).Still better than nothing ;) I'm mostly agree on points you had, so I've just left some I'm doubt about...quoted

+ +static void mps2_uart_enable_ms(struct uart_port *port) +{ +} + +static void mps2_uart_break_ctl(struct uart_port *port, int ctl) +{ +}Are those required to be present? If not, remove them until you have alive code there.A quick grep shows that core calls mps2_uart_break_ctl() unconditionally, but, yes, it checks for presence of mps2_uart_enable_ms() before jumping there, so it is safe to remove latter.
OK.

Otherwise better to explain which conditions may lead to this.In practice I've never seen that happened and I think it never *should* happen since we check if there is room in TX buffer. However, I could be wrong here, so it is why that statement has question mark.
So, worth to have a proper comment then.

Don't see a problem, maybe someone else could share an authoritive opinion. Some of the drivers do that, though most do in __init stage. So, see above. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
