Serial boards made by RTD using the Exar XR17V358 chip rely on the extra capabilities of the Exar-provided driver to allow configuration of the board. When support for the Exar chip was added to the kernel 8250_pci driver, this then prevented easy use of the board by customers for anything other than standard serial usage in RS232 mode.
Was it your intent to also prevent the use of this board in standard serial usage in RS232 mode (which I'd expect is the most common use case)?
