105What: register_serial/unregister_serial
106When: December 2005
107Why: This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against
108 a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management
109 of such ports. 8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port
110 and serial8250_unregister_port instead.
