I'm going to address these as Sascha is currently busy doing other
stuff.

The base for the driver was taken from a vendor BSP and polished to be
(nearly :-) ready for mainline. I don't know if Sascha tried to contact
Dimtry (I guess not) but keeping the original author listed is IMHO OK
as is using GIT_AUTHOR=Sascha when the polishing was non-trivial.

So maybe make this read:

Based on a driver by dmitry pervushin <dimka@embeddedalley.com>
and modified for mainline by Sascha Hauer <...>

I don't understand how to do this and didn't find something like that in
other drivers. (I checked amba-pl011.c and imx.c.) Also
Documentation/serial/driver doesn't describe this. (It is also silent
about CMSPAR and doesn't even advise to clear unsupported bits.)
Can you be a bit more verbose here?

OK, below you can find my current wip patch (yet untested on real hardware).
(If/when this looks OK for you and the above issue is addressed I will
create a proper patch.)

Best regards
