The following in 8250_exar.c line 589 is used to determine the number
of ports for each Exar board:
nr_ports = board->num_ports ? board->num_ports : pcidev->device & 0x0f;
If the number of ports a card has is not explicitly specified, it defaults
to the rightmost 4 bits of the PCI device ID. This is prone to error since
not all PCI device IDs contain a number which corresponds to the number of
ports that card provides.
This particular case involves COMMTECH_4222PCIE, COMMTECH_4224PCIE and
COMMTECH_4228PCIE cards with device IDs 0x0022, 0x0020 and 0x0021.
Currently the multiport cards receive 2, 0 and 1 port instead of 2, 4 and
8 ports respectively.
To fix this, each Commtech Fastcom PCIe card is given a struct where the
number of ports is explicitly specified. This ensures 'board->num_ports'
is used instead of the default 'pcidev->device & 0x0f'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
