I'm not offended. I would hazard a guess that his/her (sorry!) first
language is Other Than English, and some of the verbiage that native
speakers tend to add just didn't get added.

Well, I'd guess there's not likely to be in-person thanks from ... India?!

The reason I didn't answer is that the question was just too general.
"documentation for the serial driver"... If he happens to be reading the
list - I suggest the Documentation directory in the source tree, the
source itself, google, the classic "writing linux device drivers" book
(which I forget the name of right now....), and perhaps more specific
questions to the list :)
