Yes, but serial/ (historically) contains drivers using serial_core. tty/ contains drivers using tty_driver (which all of three unfortunately do). There was a patchset from Crescent Hsieh (Moxa) to convert mxser [1]. Amiserial should be likely converted too -- Amiga users still around? There is no MAINTAINERS entry for Amiga, trying to CC m68k... I am not sure even about users of Moxa Intellio. I think I prompted long time ago. Oh yes, Ray Chen (CCed) from Moxa wrote me back in 2021: === 8< === For the Intellio cards, we phased them out in 2017. You may find the discontinuance notification as attached. We will keep the software support for 5 years, to 2023. === 8< === I believe we can mark it as BROKEN to let someone convert it to serial_core. Or drop it for good already.
