This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

serial: 8250: don't bind to SMSC IrCC IR port

to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git

Subject: serial: 8250: don't bind to SMSC IrCC IR port

SMSC IrCC SIR/FIR port should not be bound to by (legacy) serial driver so its own driver (smsc-ircc2) can bind to it.
