Nothing has come of this yet. But we have these two requests and a
request from Russell Doty at Redhat.
It would be nice to know if this type of thing was acceptable or not,
and the problems with the patch. The patch is at

This is a set of three patches to allow adding another driver on top of
the current serial driver without too much change to the serial code.
This is more for comments right now, it is probably not ready for real
use yet.

Has anything ever come of this? I would be very much interested in it.
It might make it possible to extend the Siemens Gigaset drivers
(drivers/isdn/gigaset) to the RS232 attached M101 DECT adapter.
There is a working driver out of tree which accesses the serial port
hardware directly (i8250 only), but that kind of thing doesn't seem
fit for inclusion in the kernel.
...FWIW I would also gladly remove
arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/ls_uart.c
in favour of a standard interface to drivers/serial.
Thanks
