Provide information in the kernel log as to what configuration option to enable for PCI UART devices that have been blacklisted in the generic PCI 8250 UART driver and which have a dedicated driver available to handle that has been disabled. The rationale is there is no easy way for the user to map a specific PCI vendor:device pair to an individual dedicated driver while the generic driver has this information readily available and it will likely be confusing that the generic driver does not register such a port. This is unlike usual drivers, such as drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c which handles all the hardware family members regardless of differences between them, and following an existing example where a serio driver provides suggestions as to the correct configuration options to use: psmouse serio1: synaptics: The touchpad can support a better bus than the too old PS/2 protocol. Make sure MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS and RMI4_SMB are enabled to get a better touchpad experience. A message is then printed like: serial 0000:04:00.3: ignoring port, enable SERIAL_8250_PERICOM to handle when an affected device is encountered and the generic driver rejects it.

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.
