[ Upstream commit e51e4d8a185de90424b03f30181b35f29c46a25a ]

When the clk_get() of "uart" clock returns EPROBE_DEFER, the next re-probe
finishes with success but uses invalid (ERR_PTR) values.  This leads to
dereferencing of ERR_PTR stored under ourport-&gt;clk:

	12c30000.serial: Controller clock not found
	(...)
	12c30000.serial: ttySAC3 at MMIO 0x12c30000 (irq = 61, base_baud = 0) is a S3C6400/10
	Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffdfb

	(kthread) from [&lt;c0107978&gt;] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c)

The first unsuccessful clk_get() causes s3c24xx_serial_init_port() to
exit with failure but the s3c24xx_uart_port is left half-configured
(e.g. port-&gt;mapbase is set, clk contains ERR_PTR).  On next re-probe,
the function s3c24xx_serial_init_port() will exit early with success
because of configured port-&gt;mapbase and driver will use old values,
including the ERR_PTR as clock.

Fix this by cleaning the port-&gt;mapbase on error path so each re-probe
will initialize all of the port settings.

[ Upstream commit b8995f527aac143e83d3900ff39357651ea4e0f6 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 6c55d9b98335f7f6bd5f061866ff1633401f3a44 ]

Some recent (early 2015) macbooks have Intel Broadwell where LPSS UARTs are
PCI enumerated instead of ACPI. The LPSS UART block is pretty much same as
used on Intel Baytrail so we can reuse the existing Baytrail setup code.

Add both Broadwell LPSS UART ports to the list of supported devices.

[ Upstream commit be32c0cf0462c36f482b5ddcff1d8371be1e183c ]

The Exar XR17V358 can also be combined with a XR17V354 chip to act as a
single 12 port chip. This works the same way as the combining two XR17V358
chips. But the reported device id then is 0x4358.

[ Upstream commit 96a5d18bc1338786fecac73599f1681f59a59a8e ]

The Exar XR17V358 chip usually provides only 8 ports. But two chips can be
combined to act as a single 16 port chip. Therefor one chip is configured
as master the second as slave by connecting the mode pin to VCC (master)
or GND (slave).

Then the master chip is reporting a different device-id depending on
whether a slave is detected or not. The UARTs 8-15 are addressed from
0x2000-0x3fff. So the offset of 0x400 from UART to UART can be used to
address all 16 ports as before.
