Hi Russell King:

In serial8250_request_std_resource@825.c, if all is pass it return 0, or failed return -XX, But you use
        ret = serial8250_request_std_resource(up, &res_std);
-> if (ret)
                return;
I'm guess it use as .
-> if (ret == 0)

After change code, 2.5.39 Can found my modem.
Please check, If not proble, Please apply.

Here is the patch.
