From cfcec52e9781f08948c6eb98198d65c45be75a70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karthik Manamcheri Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:33:20 -0500 Subject: serial: 8250: Make SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS work correctly Consider a situation where I have an ARM based system and therefore no legacy ports. Say, I have two memory-mapped ports. I use device tree to describe the ports. What would be the config options I set so that I get only the two ports in my system? I do not want legacy ports being created automatically and I want it to be flexible enough that it creates the devices based only on the device tree. I expected setting SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS = 0 to work because the description said, "Set this to the maximum number of serial ports you want the kernel to register at boot time." Unfortunately, even though SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS was set to the default value of 4, I did not get any device nodes (because SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS was 0). This is what this change is addressing. SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS controls the maximum number of ports you can support. SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS specifies the number of ports you want to create automatically for legacy ports at boot time. All other ports will be created when serial8250_register_port is called (and if does not exceed the total number of supported ports as specified by SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS).
