[PATCH 1/2] tty: serial_core: Add name field to uart_port struct

From: Vignesh R
Date: Tue Mar 21 2017 - 09:39:01 EST


Introduce a field to store name of uart_port that can be used to easily
identify uart port instances on a system that has more than one uart
instance. The name is of the form ttyXN(eg. ttyS0, ttyAMA0,..) where N
is number that particular uart instance.
This field will be useful when printing debug info for a particular port
or in register irqs with unique irq name. Port name is populated during
uart_add_one_port().
