Hi, It's already posted by Mr. Shim http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=127410047306149&w=2Darius patch is a little bit cleaner.OK, it's better. Acked-by: Joonyoung Shim <redacted>
Hi all, I think, this should be handled by Ben Dooks.... As Kyungmin Park said, there was his comment about this. This is just for your information.... === On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 12:52:13PM +0900, Joonyoung Shim wrote:

Thd dev_name and driver_name should be switched each other.Hmm, this doesn't seem to have appeard on the linux-arm-kernel list yet. Please provide some information about what problem that this is fixing and the impact on any existing systems.The serial device nodes are created to s3c2410_serial* on android platform instead of ttySAC*.
This has been how they've been for ages, surely the android device node creation sytstem supports symlinking /dev/SACx -> /dev/s3c2410_serialx, like many other operating sysyerms that can already do this. Changing this just because android (something as-yet unmerged into mainline) does not like it. I'm not even happy with an #ifdef around this. If you really feel this is a problem that you absolutely must fix in kernel then please provide a kernel commandline option to change the serial driver name and use that on any platform that needs it. Another way would be to update the serial platform data to have a field for which name to choose. -- Ben Q: What's a light-year? A: One-third less calories than a regular year. ===

As discussed with Ben. even though it's right patch, there's some users to use previous interface. I also think it will be fixed. but need to coordinate with existing users.IMO this is obvious bug fix. Acked-by: Paulius Zaleckas <redacted>quoted
