The two callers to serial_out_sync() have a struct port right there in scope, but then pass in a struct 8250_port which then is locally resolved to a struct port.This change I don't like. It means serial_out_sync and serial_out end up with different parameters which seems odd to say the least. You then extend this oddity by adding helpers for port_in/out but not the sync one.
I can't argue that. I'll reorder it so the generic serial_port_X helpers are introduced 1st, and then amend this to rename the fcn from serial_out_sync to serial_port_out_sync. Or I could just drop is commit entirely. Any preference one way or the other? Thanks for the review. Paul.
Otherwise it all looks good to me. Alan
