I pushed the Mesa UART driver yesterday. (and messed up a very minor
push to 2,5, and hope that isn't bad)

Anyway, this is what I sent to IRC  but got no reply in the time I was on..

The UART thing. I just realised that I can use the names= built-in
thing in comp to give the pins and uarts meaningful names. The
drawback is that the functions get the same names. I can't decide
whether that is good or bad.
Currenlty loadrt mesa_uart uart_names=hm2_5i23.0.uart.0,
hm2_5i23.0.uart.7 gives you functions and pins mesa_uart.0… and
mesa_uart.1…. so the HAL names are sequential, even if the UARTs they
control are not. (The UARTs could in theory be on different card, so
hm2_5i23.0.uart.0 and hm2_7i43.uart.2 and Hm2_3x20.uart.11...
If I drop uart_names as a modparam and use names= instead then the
functions and pins all become hm2_5i23.uart.0… and hm2_5i23.7…. I am
of the opinion that this is better (and it makes the  sample .comp
file simpler).
Should I change it?

note that the sample .comp is not intended to be of any practical use.
