patch "Revert "serial: uartps: Use the same dynamic major number for all" added to tty-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    Revert "serial: uartps: Use the same dynamic major number for all

to my tty git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Revert "serial: uartps: Use the same dynamic major number for all
 ports"

This reverts commit ab262666018de6f4e206b021386b93ed0c164316.

As Johan says, this driver needs a lot more work and these changes are
only going in the wrong direction:
