Re: broken devfs-support in SGI Zilog8530 serial driver

[Russell Coker <russell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need some code similar to the following in the serial driver:

#ifdef CONFIG_DEVFS_FS
        serial_driver.name = "tts/%d";
#else
        serial_driver.name = "ttyS";
#endif

Of course if the original device nodes were named /dev/ttyZ0 etc then you 
want "tts/Z%d".

Look at the Cyclades and Stallion drivers for examples of it being done 
correctly.  Or tell me exactly the details of what you want and I'll send you 
a patch.
