-Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] USB: serial: increase the number of devices we support
-
-We had the limit of 255 USB to serial devices on one system for almost
-15 years, with no complaints. But now it's time to move on from these
-tiny "baby" systems, and bump the number up to 512, which should last
-us a few more years:
- "512 is a nice number" -- Tobias Winter
-
-Note, this is still a static value, and uses up tty core memory with
-this many tty devices allocated. Converting the driver to use
-TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV is the next thing to do in order to remove this
-limitation.
