From: Parker Newman <pnewman@connecttech.com>

Hello,
These patches add proper support for most of Connect Tech's (CTI) Exar
based serial cards. Previously, only a subset of CTI's cards would work
with the Exar driver while the rest required the CTI out-of-tree driver.
These patches are intended to phase out the out-of-tree driver.

I am new to the mailing lists and contributing to the kernel so please
let me know if I have made any mistakes or if you have any feedback.

Changes in v2:
- Put missing PCI IDs in 8250_exar.c instead of pci_ids.h
- Split large patch into smaller ones

Thank you,
