The problems are boards/archs, which create "struct ns16550_platdata"
on their own ... I added the original value for fcr in
./arch/arm/mach-omap2/am33xx/board.c

Do you mean, I should grep for all this places and
fix them in my patch (without having the chance to test it) ?

Ok, seems a valid solution ... I try to do this today.

bye,
Heiko
