and this is indeed the problem. The 8250 driver already has 4 hardware
ports already registered.
Obviously, if you have 5 serial ports in the machine and you ask the
driver to only allow 4 ports, it's sensible that you'd get an ENOSPC
error when you try to register the 5th port.
So, if you have 5 ports in the machine, why not try setting
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS to at least 5? Or if you have 6, set it
to at least 6. etc.
Sorry, but I feel like I'm explaining The Damned Obvious(tm) here,
especially as I've hinted towards CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS twice
in this thread already.
