Subject: [PATCH 4/5] serial: 8250: document doubled "type == PORT_8250_CIR" check
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 09:46:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250623074606.456532-5-jirislaby@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250623074606.456532-1-jirislaby@kernel.org>

The check for "port.type == PORT_8250_CIR" is present twice in
serial8250_register_8250_port(). The latter was already tried to be
dropped by 1104321a7b3b ("serial: Delete dead code for CIR serial
ports") and then reverted by 9527b82ae3af ("Revert "serial: Delete dead
code for CIR serial ports"").

Document this weirdness with a reason.
