So are you suggesting the only solution is to wait for the PXA
developers to fix the bug in the PXA-serial driver?  If I absolutely
had to get a system working with both the PXA serial ports and an 8250
UART in a short timeframe, what would you recommend as the best work
around solution until the PXA bug has been resolved?

Also, do you have the contact info for the PXA serial maintainers?

Thanks.
