[PATCH 0/5] serial: Add Generic Serial Device Tree Bindings

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas-gXvu3+zWzMSzQB+pC5nmwQ@public.gmane.org>]

	Hi all,

This patch series, against next-20160414, introduces Generic Serial
Device Tree Bindings, and converts drivers using vendor-specific DT
properties to the generic properies where appropriate.

The Generic Serial Device Tree Bindings document a set of generic
properties for describing UARTs in a device tree:
  1. The GPIO modem control properties are currently duplicated across
     hardware-specific binding documentation,
  2. The property for dedicated RTS/CTS hardware flow control lines is
     already supported by several drivers, albeit with a vendor-specific
     prefix, hence make it generic.
Whether these generic properties apply to a particular device still
depends on the DT bindings of the actual device.

The old (deprecated) vendor-specific properties are still supported by
the drivers for backwards compatibility.  Actual DTS files are to be
updated later, after this series has been integrated into mainline.

Thanks for your comments!
