Sender: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org Errors-To: parisc-linux-admin@lists.parisc-linux.org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Alan, I have written a driver to handle the non-16550-compatible serial ports used on the parisc machines. This includes support for the E, F-I, K and optional console card for the D & R class systems. The console for these systems is on port 0 of the MUX. I would like to request prelimiary approval from you that you intend to merge this driver into your tree, so I can request a valid device number from lanana. Here is a link to the code in CVS: http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/linux/drivers/char/mux.c?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Obviously this driver is not finished yet, as others are working on getting the full MUX support from these devices, but this driver does handle the console nicely. I am not asking for you to pick this driver up immediately, as I assume you will pick it up during your next merging excercise of the parisc-linux tree. Thanks much for your time, and hopefully we can get approval for the device number to get these systems supported by the Debian installer. Thanks, - Ryan
