This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: Allow uart_register/unregister/register
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-next 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 also will be merged in the next major kernel release

Subject: tty: Allow uart_register/unregister/register
This is legitimate but because we don't clear the drv->state pointer in the
unregister code causes a bogus BUG().
