It seems that my patch is not going to be accepted. However, there is a device which has both PXA ports and a additional 8250 accent chip. As a result, there is a device allocation conflict. For the device to be usable the conflict needs to be resolved. Do you mean that drivers/tty/serial/pxa.c needs to be rewritten to support lp8x4x special case? -- 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
