Hello Leo:
Follow your advises, i look the source code and find that you are right. In
the source code, There are 2 functions can do some work for the serial port
initralization. The code is followed.
1. static int __devinit serial8250_probe(struct platform_device *dev)
2. static void __init serial8250_isa_init_ports(void)
In my system i use the function 2 and this function should use the structer
old_serial_port.
In fact the function 1 can initralize the serial port too. But i don't known
how to call this function.
For the more, i have find some source code in of_serial.c which is in the
\drivers\serial directory. In this file, the function
static int __devinit of_platform_serial_probe(struct of_device *ofdev,
const struct of_device_id *id)
call the serial8250_register_port function to initralized the serial port.
This issues makes me puzzlled, Could you help me to analyzed it? and what kind
of the function i should used to initralize my serial port.
thanks
best wishs

If you look into the function carefully enough, you can find that
old_serial_port is optional and can be empty. It seems to be some leftover to
provide backward compatibility when the port structure changed.
