The following 3 patches make the at91_serial driver usable on AVR32. The last two patches are not really AVR32-specific and may be considered as general bug fixes.
There are a few bigger changes I want to do to the at91_serial driver. If you have objections to any of this, please speak up.
The avr32-arch patch in -mm contains copies of a few files in include/asm-arm/arch-at91, among others at91rm9200_usart.h. This duplication is really unnecessary, and I suggest we move the file into drivers/serial so that it can be used by all architectures.
Since at91_serial can be used by devices other than at91, it's really a bit misnamed. I'd like to rename it to atmel_serial. Would you accept a huge patch to do that?
There's also a different driver around for the same piece of hardware that I wrote almost from scratch a couple of years ago, and that's distributed with the AT32STK1000 BSP. I'm planning to phase out that driver, but before I do I want to go through it and try to integrate all the good stuff into the at91_driver.
Another thing: Andrew, are you the official maintainer of this driver? If not, who is?
