Ok guys, I need a consensus here. Are we going to allocate a second block of 4 minor numbers for the QE/CPM UART or not? My driver already has a macro that limits the number of UARTS to 4, and it just uses minor numbers 47 through (47 + UCC_MAX_UART - 1). So my driver can easily be modified to spill into the Altic's range if some custom board needs it. I'll add a second TTY struct to handle the 2nd set of minor numbers if and only if devices-2.6+.txt is updated with that information. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
