Please, report the setserial command you used.

Also, please, add these printk()s into file drivers/serial/8250.c as
follow:

static void
serial8250_set_ldisc(struct uart_port *port)
{
        int line = port->line;
 
printk("TEST serial8250_set_ldisc line %d\n", line);
        if (line >= port->info->tty->driver->num)
                return;
 
        if (port->info->tty->ldisc.num == N_PPS) {
printk("TEST enable MS ldisc %d\n", port->info->tty->ldisc.num);
               serial8250_enable_ms(port);
	}
}

You should see the above messages when you enable the N_PPS ldisc.

Ciao,

Rodolfo
