TTY: 8250, deprecated 8250_core.* options
They were introduced by mistake in 3.7. Let's deprecate them now. For the reasons, see the text in Kconfig below. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to
|
||||
accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and
|
||||
8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if
|
||||
anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to
|
||||
keep the 8350_core.* options around until they revert the changes
|
||||
they already did.
|
||||
|
||||
If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead.
|
||||
|
||||
If you did not notice yet and/or you have userspace from pre-3.7, it
|
||||
is safe (and recommended) to say N here.
