| Series | [1/6] serial: 8250: remove AR7 support | expand |
Hi Wolfram, (Adding Andy for commit 54b45ee8bd42 "serial: core: Remove unused PORT_* definitions").

Shouldn't it be better to keep it defined but modify the comment, mentioning "obsolete" or "deprecated"?

But they define it if we don't: #ifndef PORT_AR7 # define PORT_AR7 18 #endif > NAK. I don't mind either way. But likely we should reserve the field if we go and remove it (setserial has a number->string mapping in busybox). Hm, then reserving it or keep it? Perhaps keep it is better... So ack the NACK :).

AR7 is going to be removed from the Kernel, so remove its type definition from 8250 code. As with previous removals, I checked with Debian Code Search that 'PORT_AR7' is not used in userspace.
