puc question

[Volker]

Hi hackers,

I've found the following message in /usr/src/UPDATING:

> 20060428:
> 	The puc(4) driver has been overhauled. The ebus(4) and sbus(4)

Does the puc driver now obsoletes sio as it's going to use uart instead?

I've found nothing in the commit message for puc.c 1.47 in the cvs.

The GENERIC kernel config still has device sio in it and device puc
is still commented out by default.

I'm wondering about puc because sio deals badly with higher baud
rates (kern/51982) and the UPDATING message and puc might be a
solution for that. I'm currently rebuilding world and a sio-free
kernel to check that out.

Greetings,

Volker
