Subject: [PATCH] Discover ACPI serial ports before plug-in ports
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 23:11:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200402101611.22768.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> (raw)

I propose the following patch (against 2.6.2).  This makes us
discover ACPI serial ports before PCI ones.  The ACPI ports
tend to be built-in, and discovering them late means their ttyS
names move around if PCI serial ports are added or removed.  I
think it makes more sense to have relatively predictable and
consistent names for the built-in hardware.
