NAME

uart_register_port -

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int uart_register_port (struct uart_driver * drv, struct uart_port * port);

ARGUMENTS

drv: pointer to the uart low level driver structure for this port
port: uart port structure describing the port

DESCRIPTION

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.

Returns negative error, or positive line number.
