[parisc-linux-cvs] [PATCH] Serial MUX support for Nova and K-Class systems.

[Ryan Bradetich]

Hello all,

I just committed support for the Serial MUX driver as linux-2.4.19-pa5. 

This patch has been tested on my K460 and has been working well.  The
driver uses the same /dev/ttyB0 device the PDC Software console that
Christoph Plattner wrote and is available under the Non-standard serial
ports section.


Currently the driver only supports the Eole CAP/MUX (A Direct) device
since that is all I have to test with.  Additional devices can be added
under this driver as people with systems have a chance to test.


I tried to document the driver with kerneldoc, but it would be nice if
someone would check over my comment as I had to google/guess what most
of the ioctls and tty flags were.


The committed patch can be found at:

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

- Ryan
