105 | What: register_serial/unregister_serial | ||
106 | When: December 2005 | ||
107 | Why: This interface does not allow serial ports to be registered against | ||
108 | a struct device, and as such does not allow correct power management | ||
109 | of such ports. 8250-based ports should use serial8250_register_port | ||
110 | and serial8250_unregister_port instead. | ||
