 What:   register_serial/unregister_serial
-When:   December 2005
+When:   September 2005
 Why:    This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
         a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
         of such ports.  8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
-        and serial8250_unregister_port instead.
+        and serial8250_unregister_port, or platform devices instead.
