So I've tracked down the core issue giving me the oops wrt pmac_zilog.

When you have two serial drivers, (e.g. 8250 and PMAC_ZILOG) they both say

 "I want to reserve X ports starting with major TTY_MAJOR and minor 64".

By the time pmac_zilog gets there, the ports it requests are already
reserved.  Unfortunately, init_pmz() doesn't check if pmz_register()
succeeded or not, and so it merrily goes on to register the driver with
the power management subsystem, handing it a half-initialized driver.

The attached patch removes my previous patch-over-the-symptom and provides
a proper failure path.

Now this begs the question: shouldn't you be able to use multiple serial 
devices?  If so, why not code register_chrdev_region() to search for the
next set of free minors?  Or (more apt), have a new call 
register_chrdev_region_search() that asks for a set of X  free minors 
anywhere above some value.  Comments?

-dte

For reference, the pmac_zilog path goes like this:

init_pmz: 
-> pmz_probe:
--> pmz_init_port:
---> ioremap() mem for ports
-> pmz_register:
--> uart_registeri_driver(.major=TTY_MAJOR, .minor=64, .nr=pmz_ports_count)
---> alloc_tty_driver:
---> tty_set_operations:
----> tty_register_driver:
-----> register_chrdev_region(.from = MKDEV(major,minor), nr, "ttyS")
	for x in major + as many majors as we need for that many ports, do:
	/* p.s. is this a bug? why would a driver reserve more than one
	 * major's worth of dev entries? */
		__register_chrdev_region:
			(.major=TTY_MAJOR+x, 
			 .baseminor=64, 
			 .minorct="how many we still need to alloc", 
			 .name="ttyS")
********* THIS BIT SKIPPED BY ERROR HANDLING *********
-->  for i in ports:
       uart_add_one_port(.major=TTY_MAJOR, .minor=64, .nr=pmz_ports_count)
----> spin_lock_init(&port->lock)
----> uart_configure_port(drv, state, port)
----> tty_register_device(drv->tty_driver, port->line, port->dev)
********* END THIS BIT SKIPPED BY ERROR HANDLING *****
-> macio_register_driver:
--> driver_register:
---> bus_add_driver:
