Ugh :(

We should just get rid of the "unused" fields entirely.  They aren't
needed here as this is not a structure that anyone really cares about.
We can move things around a bit if the padding is an issue.

I've reverted this patch first for now.  I suggest a patch to the uart
core to drop the unused fields and fix up the samsung driver and then
your patch can go on top of that.  Can you work on this?

thanks,
