NAME

       uart_register_driver - register a driver with the uart core layer

SYNOPSIS

       int uart_register_driver  (struct uart_driver * drv);

ARGUMENTS

       drv    low level driver structure

DESCRIPTION

       Register  a  uart driver with the core driver. We in turn register with
       the tty layer, and initialise the core driver per-port state.

       We have a proc file in /proc/tty/driver which is named after the normal
       driver.

       drv->port  should  be  NULL,  and  the  per-port  structures  should be
       registered using uart_add_one_port after this call has succeeded.
