People have used more than 4, but we just allocated the additional /dev entries to cover them. I know of only one time this has happened. It's such a custom case that the other device names didn't matter.
Ok guys, I need a consensus here. Are we going to allocate a second block of 4 minor numbers for the QE/CPM UART or not?
My driver already has a macro that limits the number of UARTS to 4, and it just uses minor numbers 47 through (47 + UCC_MAX_UART - 1). So my driver can easily be modified to spill into the Altic's range if some custom board needs it.
I'll add a second TTY struct to handle the 2nd set of minor numbers if and only if devices-2.6+.txt is updated with that information.
