The reason is that the serial port on tsi108/9 is a bit difference 
with the standard 8250 serial port. the patch deal with the 

difference.

The prefixed ">" is caused by "Fw" the email. Sorry for that. The 
following is the original patch.

The problem I see is that the code uses a CONFIG option, to 
change the behaviour of the generic 8250 driver. What happens 
if somebody adds a PCI serial card to a tsi108 based machine?

I do not like CONFIG option:). It might be a problem in the environment you suggesting.

Perhaps you should define a new value for 
uart_8250_port.port.iotype, and add code to serial_in and 
serial_out to handle the IIR register.

I will consider it.
