But now, with the last serial patch and new irq detection
enabled, I get
- ----------------------------------------
Serial driver version 4.25 with DETECT_IRQ enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 0) is a 16550A
ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 0) is a ST16650V2
ttyS03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 11) is a ST16650V2
- -----------------------------------------
Which is wrong.

+Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe)
+CONFIG_SERIAL_DETECT_IRQ
+ Enable this option if you want the kernel to try to guess which IRQ
+ is configured during the boot sequence and you're too lazy to edit
+ the boot scripts to use the setserial command. This option can be
+ unsafe and should not be enabled on most machines. It is far
+ better to dynamically request autoconfiguration during the boot-time
+ scripts using the setserial command. You can change the IRQ and/or
+ request automatic IRQ configuration at any time by using the
+ "setserial" program. I wouldn't include this config option at all
except
+ people keep bellyaching about it. I guess they are really are too
lazy
+ to edit their boot scripts. :-) If unsure, say No.

T'so what?
