Every instance is registering own struct console and struct uart_driver with minor number which corresponds to alias ID (or 0 now) and with 1 uart port. The same alias ID is saved to tty_driver->name_base which is key field for creating ttyPSX name. Because name_base and minor number are setup already there is no need to setup any port->line number because 0 is the right value. Unfortunately this driver is setting up major number to 0 for using dynamic assignment and kernel is allocating different major numbers for every instance instead of using the same major and different minor number. ~# ls -la /dev/ttyPS* crw------- 1 root root 252, 0 Jan 1 03:36 /dev/ttyPS0 crw--w---- 1 root root 253, 1 Jan 1 00:00 /dev/ttyPS1 When major number is not 0. For example 252 then major/minor combinations are in expected form ~# ls -la /dev/ttyPS* crw------- 1 root root 252, 0 Jan 1 04:04 /dev/ttyPS0 crw--w---- 1 root root 252, 1 Jan 1 00:00 /dev/ttyPS1 Driver is not freeing struct cdns_uart_console in case that instance is not used as console. The reason is that console is incorrectly unregistred and "console [0] disabled" message will be shown.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
