Have you checked lxbios continues to work after the changes?
No, will do.
I think not all of the boards define it, and even if they did,
I'll fix that.
Thanks
TTYS0_BASE implies COM1, which is not always what you want. We need a mechanism to allow other ports here (COM2, COM3, COM4).
I won't work on infrastructure improvements for v2 if I can help it.
Yes, I think it's just a name, in theory you could assign any value to TTYS0_BASE, but you get the point.
"ttys0" is rather meaningless by itself. What if it means "0th serial port we use" (emphasis on the last two words)? A stable name would be "COM1" in my opinion...
Yes, that's what the SuperIO datasheets use. In theory it is possible to put io 2e8 to what is COM1 in the superio, but that doesn't make all too much sense.
