    [PATCH] pmac_zilog: serial minors taken failure path fix · 4e8688b2
    David Eger authored
    I've tracked down the core issue giving me the oops wrt pmac_zilog.
    
    When you have two serial drivers, (e.g. 8250 and PMAC_ZILOG) they both say
    
    "I want to reserve X ports starting with major TTY_MAJOR and minor 64".
    
    By the time pmac_zilog gets there, the ports it requests are already
    reserved.  Unfortunately, init_pmz() doesn't check for pmz_register()
    failure, and so it merrily goes on to register the half-initialized
    pmac_zilog driver with the power management subsystem.
    
    This path provides a proper failure path.
    
    Also: 
    
    Restore ppc configs now that I know people use AT Keyboards on CHRP and PReP
    machines, and the zilog driver is no longer Oops'ing.
