Re: [PATCH] Use platform device for 8250 registration

Yes, that's precisely what I meant. Just remove it from the list in
serial.h and as Ben says, instantiating a platform device is easy.

static struct plat_serial8250_port my_serial_ports[] = {
    {
        .uartclk = 115200*16,
        .iobase = 0x2f8,
        .irq = 3,
        .flags = ASYNC_BOOT_AUTOCONF;
    },
};

static struct platform_device my_serial_device = {
    .name = "serial8250",
    .dev.platform_data = my_serial_ports,
};

  ... platform_device_register(&my_serial_device);

If we are going forward with this change for OF, can we kill  
pc_serial.h and just move the default BASE_BAUD and RS_TABLE size  
into serial.h.
