I need an ack from the gpio maintainer before I can take this.

Or was it going to be reworked again?

I have not yet started with the rework, but Andy wants me to split out 
the exar related code from 8250_pci and create its own driver. But at 
the initial discussion you were against having a separate driver for it.
what will you suggest?

I don't remember what my initial suggestion was at all, sorry.  But I
like what Peter was doing with the other tty driver splitout, so that
might be the correct thing to do here.
