It does, ttyS* is reserved for 8250, nearly all ARM platforms have their own name (ttySAC, ttySA, etc). I'm surprised omap got away with this for so long. I'm not saying the change is a pain, I'm just saying I went through this years ago for strongarm. regards, Koen-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
