The old pxa.c set device ids explicitly:
-static int serial_pxa_probe_dt(struct platform_device *pdev,
- struct uart_pxa_port *sport)
-{
- struct device_node *np = pdev->dev.of_node;
- int ret;
-
- if (!np)
- return 1;
-
- ret = of_alias_get_id(np, "serial");
- if (ret < 0) {
- dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get alias id, errno %d
\n", ret);
- return ret;
- }
- sport->port.line = ret;
- return 0;
-}
and
- ret = serial_pxa_probe_dt(dev, sport);
- if (ret > 0)
- sport->port.line = dev->id;
However, this is not possible with 8250_core. The latter assigns device
ids strictly in the call order of serial8250_register_8250_port().
Hope it helps.
