Hi!
menuconfig SERIAL_DEV_BUS
tristate "Serial device bus"
help
Core support for devices connected via a serial port.
This is pretty misleading, it would be nice to mention that this is
mostly for embedded devices, and perhaps mention "say N if you don't know".
config SERIAL_DEV_CTRL_TTYPORT
bool "Serial device TTY port controller"
I have no idea what this is, please provide some kind of help here.
Pavel

It's not just for embedded devices, just wait, it will get used
everywhere :)

Yeah, well. It is "support for automatically attaching devices
attached over serial port". You can support them just fine without
serdev, but you'll have to do irattach/hciattach/whatever attach
manually...
