 The only thing I am sure is  Wind River done integration and
validation of Xilinx code for ML403 board. Xilinx probably write some
code but Montavista did too.

 Reading some files of that drivers I can say Xilinx uartlite drivers
contains code written since 2001 to 2006 by various contributors but
grepping WR 2.6.14 kernel your family name "korsgaard" does not
appear.

 I read your driver has been integretad in the 2.6.20 and jantira
Hengmeechai used /dev/ttl0 while I have used /dev/ttyS0. Are we sure
we are talking about the same thing or two different things which have
the same name?

 Cheers,
