Hmm, I think this is because this patch depends on the reverts went
into 3.4 via tty-linus.

On my internal tree I have the following against 3.4-rc2

48013c6 Revert "serial/8250_pci: init-quirk msi support for kt serial
controller"
0f4149f Revert "serial/8250_pci: setup-quirk workaround for the kt
serial controller"
5580b22 serial/8250_pci: add a "force background timer" flag and use
it for the "kt" serial port
d8a8351 tegra, serial8250: add ->handle_break() uart_port op
1d9aafe serial/8250_pci: Clear FIFOs for Intel ME Serial Over Lan device on BI
d4cb218 serial/8250_pci: fix suspend/resume vs init/exit quirks

Not sure how these things are handled in tty.git, backmerge?
