When 8250_pnp discovers COM ports, we only get the correct ttyS names by accident -- we rely on serial8250_isa_init_ports(), which discovers the COM ports earlier using the addresses in SERIAL_PORT_DFNS. These two patches remove the dependency on SERIAL_PORT_DFNS by explicitly requesting the desired ttyS names. -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
