Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d9278efc15d4785ff205643e9c0bdcef53: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.
This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.
David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable."

This patch removes CVS keywords that weren't updated for a long time in
comments, printk's and MODULE_DESCRIPTION's (no printk's or
MODULE_DESCRIPTION's are completely removed).
While doing this I also found and fixed a missing \n in a printk
in m32r_sio.c

As Russell pointed out, original patch will break some serial configurations
because of the dependency of the <asm/serial.h> header file.
Revert it first and try to find out other solution later

Added support for 8250-class UARTs in HV Sistemas H8606 board,
modification in 8250.c driver for correct compilation with Blackfin
Besides, I think that there is more people using 8250-class UARTs
with a different hardware than the H8606 board. This code can be shared
by them.

The offsets of the registers are in a different place, and
some parts cannot handle a full set of modem control signals.

The Mobility 16550A serial ports don't behave the same as standard
16550A ports, and need a helping hand to get them going once the
transmitter has drained and been disabled.

For some 8250 port types, we used to check the type of the port, and
then determine whether the chip revision means the device is buggy.
Instead, introduce a bit array, and set the appropriate bit(s) when
we discover a buggy device.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
