I've totally failed trying to get it working with 8250. I'm going to
start from scratch and take bits and pieces from other drivers and put
together something (hopefully) a bit more sane.

It actually has a lot of duplicate code from omap-serial.c, or whatever
omap-serial copied from. I'm using that as a guide as well.

I'll post something in a few weeks (I'm basically doing this outside of
my regular choirs). It will still be crap, as I'm really a noob with the
serial tty code.

I've written serial drivers in the past, but just to get things to do
basic communication. Nothing with interacting with the tty layer. That's
new for me, and as a noob, I'm sure I'll produce something that will
surely make all of you go...
