This patch adds support for the MAX3100 SPI UART. I am still
waiting for a minor number from device@lanana.org so that
may change.

Both Alan and I had numerous review comments on the previous version of
this patch.

You have not sent us a point-by-point response to those review comments
which forces us to a) go back and see what all the comments were then
b) check the patch to see if/how each point was addressed.  Needless to
say, that's not a ton of fun for us.

Can you please reply to our earlier emails and let us know what changes
were made against each review comment?

Thanks.

Meanwhile, other people have gone and added new minors in there anyway.

I think I'll just merge it:



From: Christian Pellegrin <chripell@gmail.com>

Add support for the MAX3100 SPI UART.

(akpm: queued pending confirmation of the new major number)

Hello,

I'm sorry. I asked two times following all the instructions in
devices.txt (or at least trying to do so) without any response. I hope
I didn't do something wrong. :-/

Thanks,
