FWIW, I have briefly looked at it, some patches I appreciate very much, some of
them I think need more testing and one thing I don't really like is putting
code back to 8250_core. Thinking about that, perhaps we need to restore 8250.c
(or alike) for collecting non-library / non-_particular_-driver-leaf?
