LGTM, there are leftovers though:
MAINTAINERS
18341:MOXA SMARTIO/INDUSTIO/INTELLIO SERIAL CARD

Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt
2391: 172 char  Moxa Intellio serial card
2398: 173 char  Moxa Intellio serial card - alternate devices

=========

Funilly, the MAINTAINERS entry was supposed to be for both mxser 
(SMARTIO/INDUSTIO) and moxa (INTELLIO), but the F: pattern for moxa was 
never added (cf. 679655daffdd). INTELLIO should dismiss from there, 
nonetheless.
