Subject: [PATCH] serial/8250: Increase number of serial ports to 32
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:54:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CDAA41F.1060402@visionsystems.de> (raw)

This will make sure that multiple serial port cards can be
used out of the box. Otherwise the user must pass
nr_uarts parameter, that will be often forgotten and increases
support requests for serial card vendors.
