64360 serial driver for 2.6....

[sjhill]

Greetings.

I see that a few people are working with the 64x60 chips
from Marvell. Has anyone ported the serial driver from 2.4
into 2.6 yet? I have the 2.4 code and have ported the
serial console code to 2.6 just fine, but I would rather
not waste my time porting the serial driver proper if
someone else has done it already. Please CC: me on the
reply as I cannot subscribe to any of the PPC lists, even
after multiple attempts.

Steve,

bk://source.mvista.com/linux-2.5-marvell is the current working tree for
Marvell 64x60 devices in 2.6.  There is a new mpsc driver that fits
under the new 2.6 serial infrastructure.  Its new and still has some
problems but you should at least be able to use the console.  So far,
only the ev64260 platform uses it.  You should take a look at that code
to see what you need to do to get it to work on your platform.
