RM hat: There is basically no risk to existing systems since this just
adds a new compatible string. The benefit is that Xen will work on some
new set of hardware, if it turns out that things are buggy on that type
of hardware then we haven't lost anything vs. not trying to run on it at
all.

Applied, thanks.

This being ARM specific code, could someone please submit a patch to prevent
problems going forward with the duplicate const here (the second one really
belongs _after_ the *)?

Hi Jan,

Thanks for spotting the error. I noticed that every serial drivers which 
support Device Tree are affected by the duplicated const.

I have sent a patch on the ML: https://patches.linaro.org/22744/

Cheers,
