From: Dave Jones Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2006 23:18:19 +0000 (+0000) Subject: [SERIAL] Make the number of UARTs registered configurable. X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc1~661^2 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a61c2d78ce61e67baf27c43f6721db87a27ac762;p=linux-2.6 [SERIAL] Make the number of UARTs registered configurable. Also add a nr_uarts module option to the 8250 code to override this, up to a maximum of CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS This should appease people who complain about a proliferation of /dev/ttyS & /sysfs nodes whilst at the same time allowing a single kernel image to support the rarer occasions of lots of devices.
