This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: mvebu-uart: Fix reporting of effective CSIZE to userspace
to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Apparently, this driver (or the hardware) does not support character length settings. It's apparently running in 8-bit mode, but it makes userspace believe it's in 5-bit mode. That makes tcsetattr with CS8 incorrectly fail, breaking e.g. getty from busybox, thus the login shell on ttyMVx.
Fix by hard-wiring CS8 into c_cflag.
