RE: [PATCH] 8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManageredirected serial port

The patch was against 3.7, not 2.7, 2.7 was a typo.

I'll just pass it off to a Linux developer if I meet one. Sorry for wasting your time.

2.7?

I need this against the linux-next release, can you please redo it, and
not send it as an attachment, but put it all inline in the email
properly like Documentation/email_clients.txt says?
