I miss here information why you do all this.

It looks like separate patch. Your patches should do only one thing at
once. The fact that you have here three bullet points is a warning
sign. This is even more important if you do some refactorings and
cleanups which should not affect functionality. Hiding there changes
which could affect functionality is a no-go.

Separate patch for trivial renaming.

Why moving this? Why adding s3c24xx_serial_tx_chars() forward
declaration?
