Cover letter [PATCH v4 0/7] serial: exar: add Connect Tech serial cards to Exar driver

From: Parker Newman <[email protected]>

Hello,
These patches add proper support for most of Connect Tech's (CTI) Exar based serial cards. Previously, only a subset of CTI's cards would work with the Exar driver while the rest required the CTI out-of-tree driver. These patches are intended to phase out the out-of-tree driver.

I am new to the mailing lists and contributing to the kernel so please let me know if I have made any mistakes or if you have any feedback.

Changes in v2:
- Put missing PCI IDs in 8250_exar.c instead of pci_ids.h
- Split large patch into smaller ones

Changes in v3:
- Refactored patches to be easier to follow (based on feedback of v2)
- Patch specific changes listed in corresponding patch

Changes in v4:
- Rebased to tty-testing branch
- Removed v3 patch 8/8, "bug" didn't happen in current driver
- Patch specific changes listed in corresponding patch

Thank you,
