Bodge up serial support in 2.5.40
PATCH 1/1 Bodge up serial support in 2.5.40
Standard 8250/16550 UART support is broken in 2.5.40, and I needed it, so following a bit of advice from Russell King, I've prepared this patch.
I thought I'd post it, just incase anybody else out there actually uses serial ports, (seems they don't). Before you apply it, bear in mind that the last C I did was a hello world program :-), (only half kidding).
This is a bodge up patch only, NOT an official solution.
John.

Actually, they work fine in 2.5.40. Well, my serial mouse works fine. So i guess the serial port must work fine too.

Its certain compilation options that mess it up atm.
