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 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
