I'm running Raspberry Pi OS with desktop(Release date: January 11th 2021) in my raspberry pi compute module 4.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 5.10.16-v7l #1 SMP Tue Feb 23 19:01:18 CST 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux
It's got a mini PCI express slot, which I plan to use for a 4 port UART card. I've got a card from Diamond systems which uses the EXAR XR17V354 UART chip.
Being an optimist, I plugged in the card and booted, hoping for the best.
Looks like the card is recognized:

A few questions:
- How do i fix "Couldn't register serial port 0, irq 62, type 2, error -28"?
- How do i use the the xr17v354 official driver?
