Saying Y here will enable the hardware MUX serial driver for
the Nova and K class systems. The hardware MUX is not 8250/16550
compatible therefore the /dev/ttyB0 device is shared between the

need to be completed to use the Serial MUX:
the Nova, K class systems and D class with a 'remote control card'.
