Hello, I'd like to obtain some minor device number and I'm not sure how to do so. I've seen that a request must be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I've done it, following the instructions (I think). I've sent it twice, a first time two month ago, then again a little less than a month ago. Each time with no anwer ;(
Here is the mail I sent each time (greeting & thanks snipped) : ----<CUT>---- I'd like to obtain an official range in the low-density serial port (major=204) for the serial ports on the SoC MPC5200. This chip has 6 PSC that can act as serial port. I'd suggest naming them ttyPSC[0-5] and just using "PPC PSC - port n" as decription since freescale might decide to reuse the PSC for future chips in the same family. Something like that I'd guess 148 = /dev/ttyPSC0 PPC PSC - port 0 ... 153 = /dev/ttyPSC5 PPC PSC - port 5 Currently the driver (drivers/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c) uses the "standard" /dev/ttySx but that causes conflicts when for example a pcmcia serial card is present since both driver want the same serial. Apparently the "low density serial port" major is there for theses kind of ports so ;) ----<CUT>---- Is there some critical information missing ? Something I don't get ?
