[PATCH] serial driver procfs 2.4.19-pre6

From: Ed Vance (EdV@macrolink.com)
Date: Fri Apr 05 2002 - 19:59:44 EST


This patch changes text generated by the generic serial driver for the
/proc/tty/driver/serial interface. Now generates correct address and
port statistics fields for memory mapped devices. Displays only ports
claimed by driver. Prevents kudzu crash at pciserial.c:78 when memory
mapped serial ports are present, due to missing fields in text line and
missing check of string search return value.
Example - before:
    "1: uart:16550A port:02F8 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0 " (I/O space)
    "4: uart:16C950/954 port:0 irq:14" (memory space)
    "44: uart:unknown port:0 irq:0" (not claimed)
Example - after:
    "1: uart:16550A port:02F8 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0 " (I/O port)
    "4: uart:16C950/954 port:C4800000 irq:14 tx:0 rx:0 " (memory space)

Applies cleanly to 2.4.19-pre6. Has no dependencies on other patches.
Please apply.

Thanks,
Ed Vance <edv@macrolink.com>
