Hello,

our company is developing multi port serial cards among other products. The main problem is, when the customers first install this devices especially those with 8 ports, they get only few ports detected, cause CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS is set to 8. There are also many such requests all over the net. Serial interface is still not dead in spite of new technologies. So this change is really needed.

I tried to propagate this change to serial tree maintainers, but it ended in proposal to change this through Linux distribution maintainers. After all they configure the kernels themselves, not necessarily using kernel default values. See this thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg03020.html

What do you think about this? Should I open a bug request?

Yes, we need that in order to be able to change the default values.

Please file a bug and assign it to me and I will change the value.

Here it is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652954 I couldn't assign it to you.

I've reassigned it and will take it from there, thanks. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
