Hi Andy,
Code in 8250_pcilib.c (serial8250_pci_serial_port API) is taken from 8250_pci.c which is under copyright of Russell King. In the maintainers file, I was not able to find 8250_pci.c. Since, it is not developed by us, it is not optimal to add this file under 'MICROCHIP PCIe UART DRIVER' section. Where would you suggest adding this new file (8250_pcilib.c) in the Maintainers file?

Thanks,
Tharun Kumar P
