commit be40597a1bc173bf9dadccdf5388b956f620ae8f upstream.

UARTn_FRAME_PARITY_ODD is 0x0300
UARTn_FRAME_PARITY_EVEN is 0x0200
So if the UART is configured for EVEN parity, it would be reported as ODD.
Fix it by correctly testing if the 2 bits are set.

commit 1e948479b3d63e3ac0ecca13cbf4921c7d17c168 upstream.

Make sure to deregister the SPI driver before releasing the tty driver
to avoid use-after-free in the SPI remove callback where the tty
devices are deregistered.

commit abe81f3b8ed2996e1712d26d38ff6b73f582c616 upstream.

If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.

Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.

Before this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.ko | grep alias
$

After this patch:

$ modinfo drivers/tty/serial/msm_serial.ko | grep alias
alias:          of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartdmC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cqcom,msm-uartdm

<title>serial: 8250_pci: Detach low-level driver during PCI error recovery</title>

commit f209fa03fc9d131b3108c2e4936181eabab87416 upstream.

During a PCI error recovery, like the ones provoked by EEH in the ppc64
platform, all IO to the device must be blocked while the recovery is
completed.  Current 8250_pci implementation only suspends the port
instead of detaching it, which doesn't prevent incoming accesses like
TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET calls from reaching the device.  Those end up
racing with the EEH recovery, crashing it.  Similar races were also
observed when opening the device and when shutting it down during
recovery.

This patch implements a more robust IO blockage for the 8250_pci
recovery by unregistering the port at the beginning of the procedure and
re-adding it afterwards.  Since the port is detached from the uart
layer, we can be sure that no request will make through to the device
during recovery.  This is similar to the solution used by the JSM serial
driver.

I thank Peter Hurley &lt;peter@hurleysoftware.com&gt; for valuable input on
this one over one year ago.

commit b8995f527aac143e83d3900ff39357651ea4e0f6 upstream.

This patch fixes the broken serial log when changing the clock source
of uart device. Before disabling the original clock source, this patch
enables the new clock source to protect the clock off state for a split second.

commit 6befa9d883385c580369a2cc9e53fbf329771f6d upstream.

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

commit 7fd6f640f2dd17dac6ddd6702c378cb0bb9cfa11 upstream.

Trying to write console output from within the serial console driver
while the port-&gt;lock is held causes recursive deadlock:

  CPU 0
spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;port-&gt;lock)
printk()
  console_unlock()
    call_console_drivers()
      serial8250_console_write()
        spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;port-&gt;lock)
** DEADLOCK **

The 8250_dw i/o accessors try to write a console error message if the
LCR workaround was unsuccessful. When the port-&gt;lock is already held
(eg., when called from serial8250_set_termios()), this deadlocks.

Make the error message a FIXME until a general solution is devised.
