Re: serial.h v serial_core.h PORT_ defines?

[Philippe Langlais <philippe.langlais@stericsson.com>]

Hi,
You are right.
I'll add my define in serial_core.h (#19), and withdraw U6_16550A 
definition in serial.h.
I'll post a patch to fix it.
I have the same question about these double definitions.

Thanks

Philippe
