Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] serial: core: Add port port device to flush TX on runtime resume

Hi,

Thanks for your review again, will fix what you noted. One idea
for an improvment below though.

Assuming you mean EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(), sure.

But we might be better off doing the following:

- Move already exported uart_add_one_port() and uart_remove_one_port()
  from serial_core to serial_port as wrapper functions for serial_core

- Export new functions in serial_core for serial_core_register_port()
  and serial_core_unregister_port() for serial_port to call

This would ensure both serial_core and serial_port modules are
always loaded when a hardware specific serial port driver is
loaded.

This should also leave out the need for serial_port_get() and
serial_port_put().

Regards,

Tony
