The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with 17*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds a user space API. 18*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the 19*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of 20*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be 21*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds enabled. 22*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds 23*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds WARNING: This software may not be supported or function 24*1da177e4SLinus Torvalds correctly on your IBM server.
