Merge tag 'tty-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty
Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH: "Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1. It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the console command line parsing changes that are in here. There's still one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that. If not, I'll send a revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can address it. Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices in the future. All of these have been in linux-next for a while" * tag 'tty-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (119 commits) n_gsm: Drop unneeded cast on netdev_priv sc16is7xx: expose RTS inversion in RS-485 mode serial: 8250_pci: port failed after wakeup from S3 earlycon: 8250: Document kernel command line options earlycon: 8250: Fix command line regression earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride tty: clean up the tty time logic a bit serial: 8250_dw: only get the clock rate in one place serial: 8250_dw: remove useless ACPI ID check dmaengine: hsu: move memory allocation to GFP_NOWAIT dmaengine: hsu: remove redundant pieces of code serial: 8250_pci: add Intel Tangier support dmaengine: hsu: add Intel Tangier PCI ID serial: 8250_pci: replace switch-case by formula for Intel MID serial: 8250_pci: replace switch-case by formula tty: cpm_uart: replace CONFIG_8xx by CONFIG_CPM1 serial: jsm: some off by one bugs serial: xuartps: Fix check in console_setup(). serial: xuartps: Get rid of register access macros. serial: xuartps: Fix iobase use. ...
