Subject: [PATCH 3/5] serial: mcf: dynamically allocate memory
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 22:07:01 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013120831.1046590-4-gerg@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013120831.1046590-1-gerg@linux-m68k.org>

Modify the ColdFire serial driver to dynamically allocate the local uart
port structures as required at init time. Currently it uses a fixed
size array - a little wasteful of memory on most parts with only a
couple of UARTs.
