Patches 1 to 3 were cc'd to the LKML [1][2][3].

Please disregard this patch series. Bjorn [maintainer of the PCI subsystem]
has declined the pci_ids.h update so I will have to v2 this series using
raw hex IDs. I guess thats what I get for doing kernel work without putting in
enough time to check everything :(. Sorry for the mess.

With regard to the 8250_pci.c file in particular, should I split each change
into its own commit? I just want to avoid merge conflicts, and making all the
changes in one commit made more sense to me but rules are rules, so I will
follow them to get these devices supported. I'm still sort of new to patching
like this so sorry for any mistakes :(.
