Revision 9468613b2bb0a386af563953b613efc6c77bd8c1 authored by Russell King on 28 October 2006, 21:42:56 UTC, committed by Russell King on 28 October 2006, 21:42:56 UTC
The PXA2xx PCMCIA driver was registering a device_driver with the
platform_bus_type.  Unfortunately, this causes data outside the
device_driver structure to be dereferenced as if it were a
platform_driver structure, causing an oops.  Convert the PXA2xx
core driver to use the proper platform_driver structure.

Misc. notes for RISCom/8 serial driver, in no particular order :)

1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time.
   Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for
   setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver
   as module use modprobe options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."

2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost
   any of its options, excluding port & irq settings.

3) There are some misc. defines at the beginning of riscom8.c, please read the 
   comments and try to change some of them in case of problems.

4) I consider the current state of the driver as BETA.

5) SDL Communications WWW page is http://www.sdlcomm.com.

6) You can use the MAKEDEV program to create RISCom/8 /dev/ttyL* entries.

7) Minor numbers for first board are 0-7, for second 8-15, etc.
