[PATCH] Serial: Move deprecation of register_serial forward to September
I think it's about time to make the build a little more vocal about the expiry of these functions. Due to recent discussions with problems in the console initialisation vs power manglement, I'd like to move the date forward to September. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Why: This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against

a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management

of such ports. 8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port

and serial8250_unregister_port instead.
