Please pummel this patch into the next 2.4.19-preX.
Serial driver procfs patch
This patch changes text generated by the generic serial driver for the
/proc/tty/driver/serial interface. Now generates correct address and
port statistics fields for memory mapped devices. Displays only ports
claimed by driver. Prevents kudzu crash at pciserial.c:78 when memory
mapped devices are present, due to missing fields in text line and
missing check of string search result in kudzu.
Example - before:
"1: uart:16550A port:02F8 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0 " (I/O space)
"4: uart:16C950/954 port:0 irq:14" (memory space)
"44: uart:unknown port:0 irq:0" (not claimed)
Example - after:
"1: uart:16550A port:02F8 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0 " (I/O port)
"4: uart:16C950/954 port:C4800000 irq:14 tx:0 rx:0 " (memory space)
