grr. It is sha1 from stable tree. Will resend.

This is not a valid sha1 in Linus's tree :(

Please fix up and resend.

[PATCH] serial: uartps: Fix uartps_major handling

[Michal Simek]

There are two parts which should be fixed. The first one is to assigned
uartps_major at the end of probe() to avoid complicated logic when
something fails.
The second part is initialized uartps_major number to 0 when last device is
removed. This will ensure that on next probe driver will ask for new
dynamic major number.

Fixes: c9712e333809 ("serial: uartps: Use the same dynamic major number for all 
ports")
