.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Register a uart driver with the core driver\&. We in turn register with the tty layer, and initialise the core driver per\-port state\&.
.PP
We have a proc file in /proc/tty/driver which is named after the normal driver\&.
.PP
drv\->port should be NULL, and the per\-port structures should be registered using uart_add_one_port after this call has succeeded\&.
