CC added. m68k and m68knommu got merged, but Greg still handles the nommu and coldfire parts. On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 01:07, Paul Gortmaker [off-list ref] wrote:

commit 3a0db7215c88077b61a673215756ec4a0dc0c7a5 "TTY: serial, move 68360 driver to staging" did so because the driver had remained broken since 2008. It also added this text to the TODO file: "If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will be removed in the 3.4 release." A quick search on the internet doesn't reveal anyone actively trying to update/fix this driver, so follow through on the above and remove it from the pending 3.4 release.
