[ Upstream commit 651dee03696e1dfde6d9a7e8664bbdcd9a10ea7f ]

In the sh-sci driver, serial ports are mapped to the sci_ports[] array,
with earlycon mapped at index zero.

The uart_add_one_port() function eventually calls __device_attach(),
which, in turn, calls pm_request_idle(). The identified code path is as
follows:

uart_add_one_port() -&gt;
  serial_ctrl_register_port() -&gt;
    serial_core_register_port() -&gt;
      serial_core_port_device_add() -&gt;
        serial_base_port_add() -&gt;
          device_add() -&gt;
            bus_probe_device() -&gt;
              device_initial_probe() -&gt;
                __device_attach() -&gt;
                  // ...
                  if (dev-&gt;p-&gt;dead) {
                    // ...
                  } else if (dev-&gt;driver) {
                    // ...
                  } else {
                    // ...
                    pm_request_idle(dev);
                    // ...
                  }

The earlycon device clocks are enabled by the bootloader. However, the
pm_request_idle() call in __device_attach() disables the SCI port clocks
while earlycon is still active.

The earlycon write function, serial_console_write(), calls
sci_poll_put_char() via serial_console_putchar(). If the SCI port clocks
are disabled, writing to earlycon may sometimes cause the SR.TDFE bit to
remain unset indefinitely, causing the while loop in sci_poll_put_char()
to never exit. On single-core SoCs, this can result in the system being
blocked during boot when this issue occurs.

To resolve this, increment the runtime PM usage counter for the earlycon
SCI device before registering the UART port.

[ Upstream commit 5f1017069933489add0c08659673443c9905659e ]

The early_console_setup() function initializes sci_ports[0].port with an
object of type struct uart_port obtained from the struct earlycon_device
passed as an argument to early_console_setup().

Later, during serial port probing, the serial port used as earlycon
(e.g., port A) might be remapped to a different position in the sci_ports[]
array, and a different serial port (e.g., port B) might be assigned to slot
0. For example:

sci_ports[0] = port B
sci_ports[X] = port A

In this scenario, the new port mapped at index zero (port B) retains the
data associated with the earlycon configuration. Consequently, after the
Linux boot process, any access to the serial port now mapped to
sci_ports[0] (port B) will block the original earlycon port (port A).

To address this, introduce an early_console_exit() function to clean up
sci_ports[0] when earlycon is exited.

To prevent the cleanup of sci_ports[0] while the serial device is still
being used by earlycon, introduce the struct sci_port::probing flag and
account for it in early_console_exit().

Relocate the runtime PM enable operation to sci_probe_single(). This change
prepares the codebase for upcoming fixes.

While at it, replace the existing logic with a direct call to
devm_pm_runtime_enable() and remove sci_cleanup_single(). The
devm_pm_runtime_enable() function automatically handles disabling runtime
PM during driver removal.

commit 9f7dea875cc7f9c1a56a5c688290634a59cd1420 upstream.

In the sh-sci driver, sci_ports[0] is used by earlycon. If the earlycon is
still active when sci_probe() is called and the new serial port is supposed
to map to sci_ports[0], return -EBUSY to prevent breaking the earlycon.

This situation should occurs in debug scenarios, and users should be
aware of the potential conflict.

commit eaeee4225dba30bef4d424bdf134a07b7f423e8b upstream.

The port_cfg object is used by serial_console_write(), which serves as
the write function for the earlycon device. Marking port_cfg as __initdata
causes it to be freed after kernel initialization, resulting in earlycon
becoming unavailable thereafter. Remove the __initdata macro from port_cfg
to resolve this issue.

On the Renesas RZ/G3S, when doing suspend to RAM, the uart_suspend_port()
is called. The uart_suspend_port() calls 3 times the
struct uart_port::ops::tx_empty() before shutting down the port.

According to the documentation, the struct uart_port::ops::tx_empty()
API tests whether the transmitter FIFO and shifter for the port is
empty.

The Renesas RZ/G3S SCIFA IP reports the number of data units stored in the
transmit FIFO through the FDR (FIFO Data Count Register). The data units
in the FIFOs are written in the shift register and transmitted from there.
The TEND bit in the Serial Status Register reports if the data was
transmitted from the shift register.

In the previous code, in the tx_empty() API implemented by the sh-sci
driver, it is considered that the TX is empty if the hardware reports the
TEND bit set and the number of data units in the FIFO is zero.

According to the HW manual, the TEND bit has the following meaning:

0: Transmission is in the waiting state or in progress.
1: Transmission is completed.

It has been noticed that when opening the serial device w/o using it and
then switch to a power saving mode, the tx_empty() call in the
uart_port_suspend() function fails, leading to the "Unable to drain
transmitter" message being printed on the console. This is because the
TEND=0 if nothing has been transmitted and the FIFOs are empty. As the
TEND=0 has double meaning (waiting state, in progress) we can't
determined the scenario described above.

Add a software workaround for this. This sets a variable if any data has
been sent on the serial console (when using PIO) or if the DMA callback has
been called (meaning something has been transmitted). In the tx_empty()
API the status of the DMA transaction is also checked and if it is
completed or in progress the code falls back in checking the hardware
registers instead of relying on the software variable.

The early_console_setup() function initializes the sci_ports[0].port with
an object of type struct uart_port obtained from the object of type
struct earlycon_device received as argument by the early_console_setup().

It may happen that later, when the rest of the serial ports are probed,
the serial port that was used as earlycon (e.g., port A) to be mapped to a
different position in sci_ports[] and the slot 0 to be used by a different
serial port (e.g., port B), as follows:

sci_ports[0] = port A
sci_ports[X] = port B

In this case, the new port mapped at index zero will have associated data
that was used for earlycon.

In case this happens, after Linux boot, any access to the serial port that
maps on sci_ports[0] (port A) will block the serial port that was used as
earlycon (port B).

To fix this, add early_console_exit() that clean the sci_ports[0] at
earlycon exit time.

<title>serial: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()</title>

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/tty/serial to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

<title>serial: sh-sci: Add support for RZ/V2H(P) SoC</title>

<content type='text'>
Add serial support for RZ/V2H(P) SoC with earlycon.

The SCIF interface in the Renesas RZ/V2H(P) is similar to that available
in the RZ/G2L (R9A07G044) SoC, with the following differences:

- RZ/V2H(P) SoC has three additional interrupts: one for Tx end/Rx ready
  and two for Rx and Tx buffer full, all of which are edge-triggered.
- RZ/V2H(P) supports asynchronous mode, whereas RZ/G2L supports both
  synchronous and asynchronous modes.
- There are differences in the configuration of certain registers such
  as SCSMR, SCFCR, and SCSPTR between the two SoCs.

To handle these differences on RZ/V2H(P) SoC SCIx_RZV2H_SCIF_REGTYPE
is added.
