In serial8250_isa_init_ports(), the port's lock is initialized.  We
should not overwrite it.  Only copy in the fields we need.
I suggest you to send all the 8250 patches tolinux-serial@vger.kernel.org and most probably the LKML. I don't thinkthe relevant maintainers read this list -- note that they will be thegeneral Linux maintainers as the serial subsystem doesn't have a dedicatedone at the moment. Please always consult the MAINTAINERS file beforeposting patches (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches too).

Thanks, we are aware of this. All the serial patches had beenpreviously sent as you suggest.

The next revision of this patch set will go to a wider audience,including linux-serial@ as appropriate.
