This driver supports the built-in serial ports of the Motorola ColdFire
family of CPUs.
+ This driver is deprecated because it supports only the old interface
+ for serial drivers and features like magic keys are not working.
+ Please switch to the new style driver because this driver will be
+ removed soon.
