Please read and follow https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

Start with your problem description, then a description of your proposed
solution.

You're just looking for a index allocator, so DEFINE_IDA() is probably
what you want to use.


That said, theoretically I think we could get 24 GENI serial instances
in a system. Making this a huge waste of memory and CPU cycles.

An empty idr takes 88 bytes, if you then allocate 1 entry it grows with
at least one xa_array node which is 576 bytes.

Plus qcom_geni_uart_ports[] is GENI_UART_PORTS long. So you will
actually only have a maximum of 3 ports.


I like the change, but please replace port_idr with a u32 and use
linux/bitmap.h to implement the port allocation scheme.
