Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: samsung: Move uart_register_driver call to device probe
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 14:32:34 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390208555-27770-2-git-send-email-tushar.behera@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1390208555-27770-1-git-send-email-tushar.behera@linaro.org>

uart_register_driver call binds the driver to a specific device
node through tty_register_driver call. This should typically happen
during device probe call.

In a multiplatform scenario, it is possible that multiple serial
drivers are part of the kernel. Currently the driver registration fails
if multiple serial drivers with same default major/minor numbers are
included in the kernel.

A typical case is observed with amba-pl011 and samsung-uart drivers.
