| 125 | When: January 2006 | ||
| 126 | Why: The 8250 serial driver now has the ability to deal with the differences | ||
| 127 | between the standard 8250 family of UARTs and their slightly strange | ||
| 128 | brother on Alchemy SOCs. The loss of features is not considered an | ||

| 227 | Why: Does no longer build since quite some time, and was never popular, | ||
| 228 | due to the platform being replaced by successor models. Apparently | ||
| 229 | no user base left. It also is one of the last users of | ||
