Re: Change to serial_core.c .... causing my serial driver problem Help Request

[vcgandhi1@aol.com]

Guennadi,

When I switch to static Major and Minor numbers, the code started to 
work. So I believe the issue is with dynamic Major and Minor number.

I switch to static Major and Minor number till this gets fix or if it 
ever gets fixed. Let me know what your thoughts are maybe I doing 
something wrong which is causing Dynamic Major and Minor numbers not to 
work.

Thank You
Vipul

Doesn't look like 8250.c uses dynamic major and minor numbers.

Thanks
