You are right. However, the main issue is not that, it's why does it not
fail with a good error message, such as: minor/major already allocated,
there is already a char device with name `serial', or the IRQ 3 is already
used ? I understand that serial devices now support IRQ sharing, and
that's maybe the reason why ``IRQ already used'' doesn't fail
anymore.
FYI, This has been fixed in the 4.91 version of the serial driver (which
is also folded into the 2.3.29-pre2 kernel).
