patch "serial: sh-sci: Make sure status register SCxSR is read in correct" added to tty-linus

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

serial: sh-sci: Make sure status register SCxSR is read in correct

to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: serial: sh-sci: Make sure status register SCxSR is read in correct
sequence

For SCIF and HSCIF interfaces the SCxSR register holds the status of data that is to be read next from SCxRDR register, But where as for SCIFA and SCIFB interfaces SCxSR register holds status of data that is previously read from SCxRDR register.

This patch makes sure the status register is read depending on the port types so that errors are caught accordingly.
