commit be32c0cf0462c36f482b5ddcff1d8371be1e183c upstream.

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.

commit f967fc8f165fadb72166f2bd4785094b3ca21307 upstream.

This reverts commit 9119fba0cfeda6d415c9f068df66838a104b87cb.

This commit prevents from sending "big" file using Bluetooth.
When sending a lot of data quickly through the Bluetooth interface, and
after a variable amount of data sent, transfer fails with error:
    kernel: [  415.247453] Bluetooth: hci0 hardware error 0x00

Found on T100TA.

After reverting this commit, send works fine for any file size.

<title>serial: atmel: fix error path of probe function</title>

commit 8f1bd8f2ad2358d6a88c115481ff3e69817d1bde upstream.

If atmel_init_gpios fails the port has already been marked as busy (in
line 2629), so this must be undone in the error path.

This bug was introduced because I created the patch that finally
became 722ccf416ac2 ("serial: atmel: fix error handling when
mctrl_gpio_init fails") on top of 3.19 which didn't have commit
6fbb9bdf0f3f ("tty/serial: at91: fix error handling in
atmel_serial_probe()") yet.

commit 3c5a0357fdb3a9116a48dbdb0abb91fd23fbff80 upstream.

This adds an entry to the uart_config table for PORT_RT2880
enabling rx/tx FIFOs.  The UART is actually a Palmchip BK-3103
which is found in several devices from Alchemy/RMI, Ralink, and
Sigma Designs.

<title>serial/amba-pl011: Disable interrupts around TX softirq</title>

<id>66196fff4dddb5ff617b45f991f83a25f7629e1f</id>
<content type='text'>
pl011_tx_softirq() currently uses spin_{,un}lock(), which are not
sufficient to inhibit pl011_int() from being triggered by a local
IRQ and trying to re-take the same lock.  This can lead to
deadlocks.

This patch uses the _irq() locking variants instead to ensure that
pl011_int() handling for a given port is deferred until any
pl011_tx_softirq() work for that port is complete.


Notes for stable:

This patch fixes an issue that is fixed by the following upstream
commit, which is a more substantial rewrite of the affected code,
fixing multiple, mostly more minor issues:

        1e84d22322ceed4767db1e5342c830dd60c8210f
        serial/amba-pl011: Refactor and simplify TX FIFO handling

The upstream patch was rejected for stable on the reasonable grounds
that it was too big and complex a patch.  The original buggy code was
merged in v4.1, and the rewrite was merged in v4.2, leaving only v4.1
affected.


This patch replaces the 1e84d22, for 4.1.x only.

commit 736cd79f483fd7a1e0b71e6eaddf01d8d87fbbbb upstream.

So far DMA mode were activated when only number of bytes to send was
equal or greater than min_dma_size. Due to requirement that DMA transaction
buffer should be aligned to cache line size, the excessive bytes were
written to FIFO before starting DMA transaction. The problem occurred
when FIFO size were smaller than cache alignment, because writing all
excessive bytes to FIFO would fail. It happened in DMA mode when PIO
interrupts disabled, which caused driver hung.

The solution is to test if buffer is alligned to cache line size before
activating DMA mode, and if it's not, running PIO mode to align buffer
and then starting DMA transaction. In PIO mode, when interrupts are
enabled, lack of space in FIFO isn't the problem, so buffer aligning
will always finish with success.

commit 81ccb2a69f76b88295a1da9fc9484df715fe3bfa upstream.

Due to some of serial ports can have FIFO size smaller than cache line
size, and because of need to align DMA buffer address to cache line size,
it's necessary to calculate minimum number of bytes for which we want
to start DMA transaction to be at least cache line size. The simplest
way to meet this requirement is to get maximum of cache line size and
FIFO size.
