Re: [patch 6/6] serial8250: convert to the new platform device interface

[Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>]

This patch is breaking arch/ppc & arch/powerpc usage of 8250.c.  The  
issue appears to be with the order in which platform_driver_register 
() is called vs platform_device_add().

arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c registers an 8250 device on the  
platform bus before 8250_init() gets called.

Changing the order of platform_driver_register() vs  
platform_device_add() fixes the issue.  I'm still not sure what the  
correct solution to this is. Ideas? comments?
