Re: [PATCH] serial: samsung: move clock deactivation below uart registration

Hi Greg,

just wanted to ask about the state of this patch. I can see it in your branch
named "fixes" [0] but it seems it hasn't made its way into the kernel neither
during the 3.13-rcs or with your 3.14-pull [1].


Thanks
Heiko
