Hi,
you should add a proper prefix to your patch, like:
"serial: 8250_acorn: Add..."

You can use "git log --oneline drivers/tty/serial" to have an idea on
what prefix to add.

You can drop the full path to the file (and also the file itself) in
your commit log message, as this information is available in the diff.

I am just wondering if unregistering all ports in case one fails is the
correct course of action? Looking at other drivers in the same folder
(8250_exar, 8250_pericom, 8250_pci), they seem to abort registering
new ports in case of error, but do not unregister previously registered
ports?

For 8250_pci1xxxx, in case of failure the for/loop still continues...

For 8250_men_mcb however, the probe exit in case of error.
