Dear serial folks, I am currently trying to port an out-of-tree 8250-driver to be ready for upstreaming. The UART port we have in our FPGA is a 16550, and the driver is an MCB-Driver. In my system I got two ports. serial8250_register_8250_port() returns "8" and "9". If I understood things right, these would be associated to /dev/ttyS8 and /dev/ttyS9. However, if I try to open a terminal (picocom in my case), I get an error: "Filedes is not a tty". My dmesg output shows my prints, but nothing about the tty's. I don't know what I am doing wrong here, I don't see relevant difference to our legacy driver, which always worked. I hope someone can point me to the right direction, and I would really appreciate any hint or help. The current state of the driver is attached below.
