afaict this code:

	/*
	 * At this point, there's no way the LSR could still be 0xff;
	 * if it is, then bail out, because there's likely no UART
	 * here.
	 */
	if (!(up->port.flags & UPF_BUGGY_UART) &&
	    (serial_inp(up, UART_LSR) == 0xff)) {
		printk("ttyS%d: LSR safety check engaged!\n", up->port.line);
		return -ENODEV;
	}

is unchanged since 2.6.1, so I'm unsure what change you're proposing here?
