commit f4817843e39ce78aace0195a57d4e8500a65a898 upstream.

There are two other drivers that bind to mrvl,mmp-uart and both of them
assume register shift of 2 bits. There are device trees that lack the
property and rely on that assumption.

If this driver wins the race to bind to those devices, it should behave
the same as the older deprecated driver.

commit 78d3820b9bd39028727c6aab7297b63c093db343 upstream.

The four port Pericom chips have the fourth port at the wrong address.
Make use of quirk to fix it.

commit b896b03bc7fce43a07012cc6bf5e2ab2fddf3364 upstream.

Have the correct number of ports created for ACCES serial cards. Two port
cards show up as four ports, and four port cards show up as eight.

commit aff9cf5955185d1f183227e46c5f8673fa483813 upstream.

We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of
commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and
uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same
crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between
uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()")

On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for
if (!circ-&gt;buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer
uart_state-&gt;xmit.

<title>kgdboc: Passing ekgdboc to command line causes panic</title>

commit 1bd54d851f50dea6af30c3e6ff4f3e9aab5558f9 upstream.

kgdboc_option_setup does not check input argument before passing it
to strlen. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "ekgdboc", without
its value, is set in command line and thus cause the following panic.

Looking in uart_port_startup(), it seems that circ-&gt;buf (state-&gt;xmit.buf)

v2: switch to locking uport-&gt;lock on allocation/deallocation instead of

commit 95a0e656580fab3128c7bee5f660c50784f53651 upstream.

If port.line is out of range, we still need to release some resources, or
we will leak them.
