config SERIAL_AMBA_PL010
	tristate "ARM AMBA PL010 serial port support"
	depends on ARM_AMBA && (BROKEN || !ARCH_VERSATILE)
	select SERIAL_CORE
	help
	  This selects the ARM(R) AMBA(R) PrimeCell PL010 UART.  If you have
	  an Integrator/AP or Integrator/PP2 platform, or if you have a
	  Cirrus Logic EP93xx CPU, say Y or M here.

	  If unsure, say N.

config SERIAL_AMBA_PL010_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on AMBA serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_AMBA_PL010=y
	select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
	---help---
	  Say Y here if you wish to use an AMBA PrimeCell UART as the system
	  console (the system console is the device which receives all kernel
	  messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode).

	  Even if you say Y here, the currently visible framebuffer console
	  (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
	  you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
	  "console=ttyAM0". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
	  your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
	  kernel at boot time.)

config SERIAL_AMBA_PL011

	depends on ARM_AMBA
	select SERIAL_CORE
	help
	  This selects the ARM(R) AMBA(R) PrimeCell PL011 UART.  If you have
	  an Integrator/PP2, Integrator/CP or Versatile platform, say Y or M
	  here.

	  If unsure, say N.

	bool "Support for console on AMBA serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_AMBA_PL011=y

	  console (the system console is the device which receives all kernel
	  messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode).

	  Even if you say Y here, the currently visible framebuffer console
	  (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but

	tristate "BCM1xxx on-chip DUART serial support"
	depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC=y
	select SERIAL_CORE
	default y
	---help---
	  Support for the asynchronous serial interface (DUART) included in
	  the BCM1250 and derived System-On-a-Chip (SOC) devices.  Note that
	  the letter D in DUART stands for "dual", which is how the device
	  is implemented.  Depending on the SOC configuration there may be
	  one or more DUARTs available of which all are handled.

	  If unsure, say Y.  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
	  the module will be called sb1250-duart.

config SERIAL_SB1250_DUART_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on a BCM1xxx DUART serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_SB1250_DUART=y
	select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
	default y
	---help---
	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
	  system console (the system console is the device which receives all
	  kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
	  mode).

	  If unsure, say Y.

config SERIAL_ATMEL
	bool "AT91 / AT32 on-chip serial port support"
	depends on ARCH_AT91 || AVR32
	select SERIAL_CORE
	help
	  This enables the driver for the on-chip UARTs of the Atmel
	  AT91 and AT32 processors.

config SERIAL_ATMEL_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on AT91 / AT32 serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_ATMEL=y
	select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
	help
	  Say Y here if you wish to use an on-chip UART on a Atmel
	  AT91 or AT32 processor as the system console (the system
	  console is the device which receives all kernel messages and
	  warnings and which allows logins in single user mode).

config SERIAL_ATMEL_PDC
	bool "Support DMA transfers on AT91 / AT32 serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_ATMEL
	default y
	help
	  Say Y here if you wish to use the PDC to do DMA transfers to
	  and from the Atmel AT91 / AT32 serial port. In order to
	  actually use DMA transfers, make sure that the use_dma_tx
	  and use_dma_rx members in the atmel_uart_data struct is set
	  appropriately for each port.

	  Note that break and error handling currently doesn't work
	  properly when DMA is enabled. Make sure that ports where
	  this matters don't use DMA.

config SERIAL_ATMEL_TTYAT
	bool "Install as device ttyATn instead of ttySn"
	depends on SERIAL_ATMEL=y
	help
	  Say Y here if you wish to have the internal AT91 / AT32 UARTs
	  appear as /dev/ttyATn (major 204, minor starting at 154)
	  instead of the normal /dev/ttySn (major 4, minor starting at
	  64). This is necessary if you also want other UARTs, such as
	  external 8250/16C550 compatible UARTs.
	  The ttySn nodes are legally reserved for the 8250 serial driver
	  but are often misused by other serial drivers.

	  To use this, you should create suitable ttyATn device nodes in
	  /dev/, and pass "console=ttyATn" to the kernel.

	  Say Y if you have an external 8250/16C550 UART.  If unsure, say N.

config SERIAL_KGDB_NMI
	bool "Serial console over KGDB NMI debugger port"
	depends on KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
	help
	  This special driver allows you to temporary use NMI debugger port
	  as a normal console (assuming that the port is attached to KGDB).

	  Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always
	  able to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33).
	  This is because this console driver processes the input in NMI
	  context, and thus is able to intercept the magic sequence.

	  Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling
	  communication methods, for things like PPP you still must fully
	  detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and
	  use raw console.

	  If unsure, say N.

config SERIAL_KS8695
	bool "Micrel KS8695 (Centaur) serial port support"
	depends on ARCH_KS8695
	select SERIAL_CORE
	help
	  This selects the Micrel Centaur KS8695 UART.  Say Y here.

config SERIAL_KS8695_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on KS8695 (Centaur) serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_KS8695=y
	select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
	help
	  Say Y here if you wish to use a KS8695 (Centaur) UART as the
	  system console (the system console is the device which
	  receives all kernel messages and warnings and which allows
	  logins in single user mode).

config SERIAL_CLPS711X
	tristate "CLPS711X serial port support"
	depends on ARCH_CLPS711X || COMPILE_TEST
	select SERIAL_CORE
	help
	  This enables the driver for the on-chip UARTs of the Cirrus
	  Logic EP711x/EP721x/EP731x processors.

config SERIAL_CLPS711X_CONSOLE
	bool "Support for console on CLPS711X serial port"
	depends on SERIAL_CLPS711X=y
	select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
	help
	  Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
	  (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
	  you can alter
