Hello Michal,

How will this interact with ns16550 based UARTs?

Can we have both /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyPS0?
Currently we can't unless we create *no* serialN alias for the ns16550.
And there is no other means to lock the /dev/ttySx name to a device
either.

Or will the xuartps driver eventually use /dev/ttySx as well?

Maarten
