Subject: Re: [PATCH] arm64: defconfig: Modify number of usable 8250 uart ports

Hi Arnd, our most boards have 6 uarts that can be used in the runtime

but overall our SoC has 12 uarts. And some of our customers have this

requirements that on their custom boards they use more than 8 uarts on their

boards. Thus, we need to enable this to 12 uarts.

Regards
