I am converting the ibmasm driver that uses (un)register_serial to use serial_8250_(un)register_port. However I find function prototypes for the new interfaces only in linux/drivers/char/8250.h. Is there a reason there aren't any extern declarations for these functions in linux/include/serial.h or linux/include/serial_8250.h? thanks, max - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
