1、serial文件夾下Kconfig分析
config SERIAL_SAMSUNG
tristate "Samsung SoC serial support"
depends on ARM && PLAT_S3C
select SERIAL_CORE
help
Support for the on-chip UARTs on the Samsung S3C24XX series CPUs,為支持三星的片上UARTs控制器
providing /dev/ttySAC0, 1 and 2 (note, some machines may not
provide all of these ports, depending on how the serial port
pins are configured.
config SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS有多少個UART控制器

default 2 if ARCH_S3C2400
default 4 if ARCH_S3C64XX || ARCH_S5P64XX || CPU_S3C2443 || ARCH_S5PC1XX
default 3
help
Select the number of available UART ports for the Samsung S3C
serial driver
config SERIAL_SAMSUNG_DEBUG 調試用
bool "Samsung SoC serial debug"
depends on SERIAL_SAMSUNG && DEBUG_LL
help
Add support for debugging the serial driver. Since this is
generally being used as a console, we use our own output
routines that go via the low-level debug printascii()
function.
config SERIAL_SAMSUNG_CONSOLE 用於定義串口為控制台終端
bool "Support for console on Samsung SoC serial port"
depends on SERIAL_SAMSUNG=y
select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
help
Allow selection of the S3C24XX on-board serial ports for use as
an virtual console.
Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
(/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=ttySACx". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader about how to pass options to the kernel at
boot time.)
config SERIAL_S3C2400 用於S3C2400

2、serial文件夾下Makefile文件摘要
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE) += serial_core.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_SAMSUNG) += samsung.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C2400) += s3c2400.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C2410) += s3c2410.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C2412) += s3c2412.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C2440) += s3c2440.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C24A0) += s3c24a0.o
obj-$(CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C6400) += s3c6400.o
3、頂層.config配置文件
CONFIG_SERIAL_SAMSUNG=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS=4
# CONFIG_SERIAL_SAMSUNG_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_SAMSUNG_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_S3C6400=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
4、從上面這些可知，serial串口驅動主要涉及的文件有
（1）、serial_core.c
（2）、samsung.c
（3）、s3c6400.c
