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?

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

Not sure it should be reverted, the best would be to fix it up because
anyway what we had was wrong.
See below.

I looked into history.
ttyCPM do not appear in devices.txt in v2.6.9.
It was introduced in v2.6.10 as :
46 = /dev/ttyCPM0 PPC CPM (SCC or SMC) - port 0
...
49 = /dev/ttyCPM5 PPC CPM (SCC or SMC) - port 5
Then in v2.6.11 we find:
46 = /dev/ttyCPM0 PPC CPM (SCC or SMC) - port 0
...
47 = /dev/ttyCPM5 PPC CPM (SCC or SMC) - port 5
50 = /dev/ttyIOC40 Altix serial card
...
81 = /dev/ttyIOC431 Altix serial card
So it looks like from the begining the intention was to have 6 ports
(from 0 to 5) and it should have been up to 51. For some reason it was
messed up.
If you look into v2.6.10 drivers/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart.h you see
there are 6 ports. Even in v2.6.9 that driver exists and has 6 ports.
Anyway, the ttyIOC* were removed by commit a017ef17cfd8 ("tty/serial:
remove the ioc4_serial driver"), so it should be no problem to fix
devices.txt and set ttyCPM from 46 to 51.

One thing does concern me. The UCC UART driver piggy-backs on the CPM
driver's layout (see cpm_uart.h), but apparently CPM UART supports 6
devices, not four:
#define UART_NR fs_uart_nr
where fs_uart_nr is defined in enum fs_uart_id.
Unfortunately, it's been so long since I've touched this code, I'm not
sure whether this means anything.

If CPM UART code ever worked with > 4 ports, it probably just used minor devnums
that were not allocated to it.
Also, it looks like the CPU UART part of Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt
needs to be updated:
46 = /dev/cucpm0 Callout device for ttyCPM0
...
49 = /dev/cucpm5 Callout device for ttyCPM5
The driver must use some tricks to get 6 ports into 4 devnums. :)
