[Kamal Mostafa]

This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    powerpc/serial: Use saner flags when creating legacy ports

to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.27.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: powerpc/serial: Use saner flags when creating legacy ports

commit c4cad90f9e9dcb85afc5e75a02ae3522ed077296 upstream.

We had a mix & match of flags used when creating legacy ports
depending on where we found them in the device-tree. Among others
we were missing UPF_SKIP_TEST for some kind of ISA ports which is
a problem as quite a few UARTs out there don't support the loopback
test (such as a lot of BMCs).

Let's pick the set of flags used by the SoC code and generalize it
which means autoconf, no loopback test, irq maybe shared and fixed
port.

Sending to stable as the lack of UPF_SKIP_TEST is breaking
serial on some machines so I want this back into distros
