Assuming that this is the agreed-upon standard, should I arbitrarily restrict my driver to 4 ports, or allow all 8? I assume that if a driver already claims a particular major/minor combo, then when the 2nd driver calls uart_add_one_port(), that call will fail? -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
