Well, the vendor is providing two drivers for his serial pci cards : mxser and mxupcie.
The mxser driver has been cleaned up and integrated to mainline a long time ago (drivers/tty/mxser.c).
I'm trying to do the same thing with the mxupcie driver.

mxser and mxupcie are quite similar, maybe both should use 8250 infrastructure and not
have independant drivers ?
