Re: [PATCH] [V2] powerpc: legacy_serial: reg-offset & shift aren't used

 - First if the properties are present but their value match the
register layout of a standard UART, we will bail out... not nice.
Why would they be present in that case?
Why not ?
quoted
 - Why don't we just implement support for the reg-shift and
offset instead ?
Probably because the last time someone suggested that it spawned a
lengthy debate about what reg-offset/shift were supposed to do.
That's lame, their definition is already quite there.
