Reconcile devices.txt with serial/ucc_uart.c regarding device number
assignments. ucc_uart.c supports 4 ports and uses minor devnums
46-49, so update devices.txt with that info.
Then update ucc_uart.c's reference to the location of the devices.txt
list in the kernel source tree.
Devices ttyCPM* belong to cpm_uart driver. As explained in the comment 
you have modified in UCC uart driver, UCC uart borrows those devices and 
shall not be considered as the reference. But the lines you modify in 
device.txt doesn't mention QE UCC, it mentions CPM SCC and CPM SMC.

CPM uart driver supports up to 6 ports (4 SCC and 2 SMC).
Thank you for replying.

Does this mean that the patch should be reverted?
On one of my boards which has a powerpc mpc866 CPU, I have:

[    2.393872] ff000a80.serial: ttyCPM0 at MMIO 0xfff00a80 (irq = 19, 
base_baud = 8250000) is a CPM UART
[    2.411899] ff000a90.serial: ttyCPM1 at MMIO 0xfff00a90 (irq = 20, 
base_baud = 8250000) is a CPM UART
[    2.430352] ff000a00.serial: ttyCPM2 at MMIO 0xfff00a00 (irq = 30,

[    2.485924] ff000a60.serial: ttyCPM5 at MMIO 0xfff00a60 (irq = 27, 
base_baud = 8250000) is a CPM UART

I don't see minors 50-51 allocated in devices.txt for use by this device/driver.
Am I overlooking that allocation somewhere?

Thanks for your help.
