serial: uartps: Fix uartps_major handling

2019-10-17T20:46:44+00:00

commit 5e9bd2d70ae7c00a95a22994abf1eef728649e64 upstream.

There are two parts which should be fixed. The first one is to assigned
uartps_major at the end of probe() to avoid complicated logic when
something fails.
The second part is initialized uartps_major number to 0 when last device is
removed. This will ensure that on next probe driver will ask for new
dynamic major number.

serial: uartlite: fix exit path null pointer

2019-10-17T20:46:43+00:00

commit a553add0846f355a28ed4e81134012e4a1e280c2 upstream.

Call uart_unregister_driver() conditionally instead of
unconditionally, only if it has been previously registered.

This uses driver.state, just as the sh-sci.c driver does.

Fixes this null pointer dereference in tty_unregister_driver(),
since the 'driver' argument is null:

tty/serial: atmel: reschedule TX after RX was started

2019-09-21T05:19:43+00:00

commit d2ace81bf902a9f11d52e59e5d232d2255a0e353 upstream.

When half-duplex RS485 communication is used, after RX is started, TX
tasklet still needs to be  scheduled tasklet. This avoids console freezing
when more data is to be transmitted, if the serial communication is not
closed.

serial: sprd: correct the wrong sequence of arguments

2019-09-21T05:19:43+00:00

commit 9c801e313195addaf11c16e155f50789d6ebfd19 upstream.

The sequence of arguments which was passed to handle_lsr_errors() didn't
match the parameters defined in that function, &lsr was passed to flag
and &flag was passed to lsr, this patch fixed that.

kgdboc: disable the console lock when in kgdb

2019-07-30T15:39:39+00:00

After commit ddde3c18b700 ("vt: More locking checks") kdb / kgdb has
become useless because my console is filled with spews of:

Let's disable this warning when we're in kgdb to avoid the spew.  The
whole system is stopped when we're in kgdb so we can't exactly wait
for someone else to drop the lock.  Presumably the best we can do is
to disable the warning and hope for the best.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Olof Johansson:
 "SoC platform changes. Main theme this merge window:

   - The Netx platform (Netx 100/500) platform is removed by Linus
     Walleij-- the SoC doesn't have active maintainers with hardware,
     and in discussions with the vendor the agreement was that it's OK
     to remove.

   - Russell King has a series of patches that cleans up and refactors
     SA1101 and RiscPC support"

docs: arm: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-07-15T12:20:24+00:00

Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an
architecture book.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
