commit d24c195f90cb1adb178d26d84c722d4b9e551e05 upstream.

Newer Intel PCHs with LPSS have the same Designware controllers than
Haswell but ACPI IDs are different. Add these IDs to the driver list.

<title>TTY: pmac_zilog, check existence of ports in pmz_console_init()</title>

commit dc1dc2f8a5dd863bf2e79f338fc3ae29e99c683a upstream.

When booting a multi-platform m68k kernel on a non-Mac with "console=ttyS0"
on the kernel command line, it crashes with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address   (null)
Oops: 00000000
PC: [&lt;0013ad28&gt;] __pmz_startup+0x32/0x2a0
...
Call Trace: [&lt;002c5d3e&gt;] pmz_console_setup+0x64/0xe4

The normal tty driver doesn't crash, because init_pmz() checks
pmz_ports_count again after calling pmz_probe().

In the serial console initialization path, pmz_console_init() doesn't do
this, causing the driver to crash later.

Add a check for pmz_ports_count to fix this.

<title>tty/serial: at91: fix uart/usart selection for older products</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 055560b04a8cd063aea916fd083b7aec02c2adb8 (serial: at91:
distinguish usart and uart) the older products which do not have a
name field in their register map are unable to use their serial output.
As the main console output is usually the serial interface (aka DBGU) it
is pretty unfortunate.
So, instead of failing during probe() we just silently configure the serial
peripheral as an uart. It allows us to use these serial outputs.
The proper solution is proposed in another patch.

Due to missing braces on an if statement, in presence of a device_node a
port was always assigned -1, regardless of any alias entries in the
device tree. Conversely, if device_node was NULL, an unitialized port
ended up being used.

This patch adds the missing braces, fixing the issues.

Fix tty_kref leak when tty_buffer_request room fails in dma-rx path.

Note that the tty ref isn't really needed anymore, but as the leak has
always been there, fixing it before removing should makes it easier to
backport the fix.
