   Such comments are to be placed after --- tearline. Using several such 
tearlines makes it harder to apply your patch...
   And why do you expect the MIPS maintainer to commit a patch to the

linux-serial@vger.kernel.org and (most probably) Alan Cox...

   This major-minor pair is reserved for the Altix serial cards. Have 
you tried registering the minor on http://www.lanana.org
