Hi,

I have a question regarding the port type constants in serial_core.h. Is there any "official" assignment scheme, or is it ok to just grab/append an unused number?

Or is it even possible/allowed to reuse an existing number from the list?

Regards,
Johannes

You can get a new number when you submit a patch with your driver.

You can get a new number when you submit a patch with your driver.

I'll then add it with my driver patch.

OK, I expected this answer. Just wanted to be sure.

Thanks,
