+ The pmac_zilog driver for the z85C30 chip on many powermacs
+ historically used the device numbers for /dev/ttySn. The

+
+ If this option is not selected, the pmac_zilog driver will

+ the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to co-exist, but may cause
+ existing userspace setups to break. Programs that need to
+ access the built-in serial ports on powermacs will need to
+ be reconfigured to use /dev/ttyPZn instead of /dev/ttySn.

+ If you enable this option, any z85c30 ports in the system will

+ UARTs.
