I have split up the patches and sent out patch v4.
Hopefully this is more understandable split up and you understand the rationale for
a misc driver and a tty driver to support this PCIe card.  Also note that the series
needs Kee's request_partial_firmware_into_buf patch series to compile
as described in the cover letter.  It would be great if patches 1-3 could be reviewed and
integrated as then there is a user of request_partial_firmware_info_buf in the upstream
kernel.

Best Regards,
 Scott
