Minor nitpicking for the changelog.

OMAP3430 is better instead of OMAP3 here, since the 3630 also qualifies
as OMAP3

Thanks for the suggestion that made it 8250 independent.
I am scared to touch this driver :)

Yes I would get this patch upstream via Tony now.
I am getting some minor review comments on linux-omap, will fix and repost.

Pandita, Vikram had written, on 11/17/2009 05:39 PM, the following:

OMAP3630 and OMAP4430 UART IP blocks have a restriction wrt RX FIFO.
Empty RX fifo read causes an abort. OMAP1/2/3 do not have this restriction.

Overrigt the default 8250 read handler: mem_serial_in()

   <- I am just being a nuisance, but I think you mean override


by a custom handler: serial_in_8250()

serial_in_8250() makes sure that RX fifo is not read when empty,
on omap4 and 3630 silicons only

tested on zoom3(3630) board

Do we want to use FEATURE here? I can expect to see more silicons use 
this new UART IP, so using the OMAP FEATURE framework might make sense.
I wonder if you can at least use MVR_REG to detect if we want to enable 
this?

or better still we could even skip the check.. might save cpu cycles..

Rather than the cpu_is_* here, why not just override the function 
for these platforms and leave the default for 34xx/35xx.
