RE: [PATCH] 8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port

The patch was against 3.7, not 2.7, 2.7 was a typo.

I'll just pass it off to a Linux developer if I meet one.  Sorry for wasting your time.

Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable NetXtreme chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725).

This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte interrupt mode results in too many interrupts.  The UART_CAP_HFIFO capability was added to track this.  It continues to reload the THR as long as the THRE and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024 is used here).

2.7?

I need this against the linux-next release, can you please redo it, and
not send it as an attachment, but put it all inline in the email
properly like Documentation/email_clients.txt says?

thanks,
