The original warning/error he gets is:

things

Presumably this means that "ttyM0" was already registered with
sysfs/udev already...
In my out-of-tree driver's case, I used to use "TTY_DRIVER_NO_DEVFS" as
a flag.
When that flag went away, I did not put in "TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV" by
mistake,
and I got the same error as Greg C.
I had to push in "TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV" to fix my problem...
I don't know much (anything) about the isicom.c driver, so maybe I am
reading
something into that error that shouldn't be read into it...
