Subject: PNPACPI / 8250 discovery
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 18:36:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200412061836.38840.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> (raw)

Hi Li,

I haven't seen much activity on the PNPACPI front recently.

If/when we switch from 8250_acpi to 8250_pnp, serial device
names will change (8250_acpi devices are discovered *before*
8250_pci, but 8250_pnp is currently *after* 8250_pci in
drivers/serial/Makefile).

Do you plan to switch that around?  I think it makes more
sense to have PNP/ACPI devices named before PCI, since the
PNP/ACPI ones are more likely to be built-in.

Bjorn
