This is now upstream as:

1dcb884: Add support for the MAX3100 SPI UART.

i'm not sure whether it has been reported already, but the new
driver does not even build:

CHK include/linux/compile.h
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/serial/max3100.o', needed by `drivers/serial/built-in.o'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [drivers/serial] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

... and it has no chance to build, because the commit adds no
max3100.c driver file, at all.

The straight revert of 1dcb884 got the build going.
