I too am interested in this.  Can you point me to a link where to get
the sources?

Dear Steven,

The configuration is the VL100 board, see
http://www.denx.de/embedded-ppc-en.html

It uses 2 Philips SC26x198 Octal UARTs and a slightly modified
stallion multiport serial driver.

I can send you the SC26x198 Octal UART driver sources if you want.

But it's being used on a couple of PowerPC boards, you just  have  to
configure it correctly ;-)

Look at existing board configurations. Most use  just  CONFIG_SERIAL,
CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE, CONFIG_SERIAL_EXTENDED, CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ.

In our case there were no conflicts, because  our  SC26X198  _was_  a
non-standard driver.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not sure.
