[PATCH] Add removal schedule of register_serial/unregister_serial to appropriate file

[Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>]

I hope there's no need to explain this in the email; if there is, the
entry isn't good enough. 8)

However, wouldn't it be a good idea if this file was ordered by "when" ?
A quick scan of the file reveals a couple of overdue/forgotten items
(maybe they happened but the entry in the file got missed?):

What:   ACPI S4bios support
When:   May 2005

What:   register_ioctl32_conversion() / unregister_ioctl32_conversion()
When:   April 2005

+What:	register_serial/unregister_serial
+When:	December 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.
