.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Register UART settings with the specified low level driver.  Detect
the type of the port if UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF is set, and detect the
IRQ if UPF_AUTO_IRQ is set.

We try to pick the same port for the same IO base address, so that
when a modem is plugged in, unplugged and plugged back in, it gets
allocated the same port.
.PP
Returns negative error, or positive line number.
