[PATCH] serial: 8250: add option to disable registration of legacy ISA ports

From: Mans Rullgard
Date: Thu Jan 28 2021 - 12:26:33 EST


On systems that do not have the traditional PC ISA serial ports, the
8250 driver still creates non-functional device nodes. This change
makes only ports that actually exist (PCI, DT, ...) get device nodes.
