From 01c33b813864ca15a9dec22045ce1a5bb09d5e74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manikanta Guntupalli Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2023 19:10:03 +0530 Subject: serial: uartlite: Use dynamic allocation for major number when uart ports > 4 Device number 204 has a range of minors on major number. uart_register_driver is failing due to lack of minor numbers when more number of uart ports used. So, to avoid minor number limitation on 204 major number use dynamic major allocation when more than 4 uart ports used otherwise use static major allocation. https://docs.kernel.org/arch/arm/sa1100/serial_uart.html Signed-off-by: Manikanta Guntupalli Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231116134003.3762725-3-manikanta.guntupalli@amd.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig') diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig b/drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig index 732c893c8d16..8b1f5756002f 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig @@ -532,6 +532,9 @@ config SERIAL_UARTLITE_NR_UARTS help Set this to the number of uartlites in your system, or the number you think you might implement. + If maximum number of uartlite serial ports is more than 4, then the + driver uses dynamic allocation instead of static allocation for major + number. config SERIAL_SUNCORE bool -- cgit
