OK, I'll try to fix it -- I'm using Quilt so it's not too hard.

Dunno where that comes from.

Will fix.

I think it's version 2.0 or later.  I'll check and fix.

Checkpatch.pl complains about that!

Dunno.  It was in the codebase I got; I think it means that save and
restore aren't implemented yet.

I couldn't find one that was obvious, except in the big list of
reset-by-write-one bits in the imx_serial.c code:

 value &= (1<<15)|(1<<13)|(1<<12)|(1<<11)|(1<<10)|
            (1<<8)|(1<<7)|(1<<6)|(1<<4)|(1<<2)|(1<<1);

checkpatch.pl didn't complain about this!


Thanks for reviewing.
