That's probably the case.
It looks like 8250 doesn't know about this PCIe device at all.
The Oxford PCI ID is not in pci_ids.h nor is the SIIG subsystem ID.
I'll see if I can maybe work up a patch to support this device, since I've found
the datasheet for the Oxford 4 port UART controller, but I may need some help.
Or if anyone else (who has more experience with this) wants to formulate one,
it would be greatly appreciated.
