... However, ttyCPM0 is currently assigned to 46, and device 50 is an Altix serial card. The only way to give the CPM 6 or 8 slots without moving it is to overlap the Altix card.
Then, this is currently broken in all cases and needs to be fixed since the CPM/CPM2 could have up to six UART ports.
Now I don't know anything about the Altix card, so I don't know if it's possible to use that card on a system with a CPM or a QE. If it isn't, then I don't know if overlapping minor numbers is still a problem.
I don't think that would be a problem, and I'd like the CPM/QE to share devices because it makes the software distributions common to all Freescale embedded processors.
If we move CPM/QE to 192, then I can change the CPM device driver to reflect that, but I don't know what that means for older kernels.
That would be bad. It has nothing to do with the kernel, but we have finally survived the distribution updates to ttyCPM, and I don't want to go through that again just because of QE.
