This reverts commit 68e6939ea9ec3d6579eadeab16060339cdeaf940.

Kevin reported that this causes a crash during suspend on platforms that
dont use PM domains.

In RS485 mode, the RTS pin is driven high by hardware when the transmitter
is operating. This behaviour cannot be changed. This means that the driver
should claim that it supports SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND and not
SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND.

Otherwise, when configuring the port with the SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND, one
get the following warning:

kern.warning kernel: atmel_usart_serial atmel_usart_serial.2.auto:
ttyS1 (1): invalid RTS setting, using RTS_AFTER_SEND instead

which is contradictory with what's really happening.

With "earlycon initcall_debug=1 loglevel=8" in bootargs, kernel
sometimes boot hang. It is because normal console still is not ready,
but runtime suspend is called, so early console putchar will hang
in waiting TRDE set in UARTSTAT.

The lpuart driver has auto suspend delay set to 3000ms, but during
uart_add_one_port, a child device serial ctrl will added and probed with
its pm runtime enabled(see serial_ctrl.c).
The runtime suspend call path is:
device_add
     |-&gt; bus_probe_device
           |-&gt;device_initial_probe
	           |-&gt;__device_attach
                         |-&gt; pm_runtime_get_sync(dev-&gt;parent);
			 |-&gt; pm_request_idle(dev);
			 |-&gt; pm_runtime_put(dev-&gt;parent);

So in the end, before normal console ready, the lpuart get runtime
suspended. And earlycon putchar will hang.

To address the issue, mark last busy just after pm_runtime_enable,
three seconds is long enough to switch from bootconsole to normal
console.

<title>serial: sc16is7xx: fix invalid FIFO access with special register set</title>

<id>7d3b793faaab1305994ce568b59d61927235f57b</id>
<content type='text'>
When enabling access to the special register set, Receiver time-out and
RHR interrupts can happen. In this case, the IRQ handler will try to read
from the FIFO thru the RHR register at address 0x00, but address 0x00 is
mapped to DLL register, resulting in erroneous FIFO reading.

Call graph example:
    sc16is7xx_startup(): entry
    sc16is7xx_ms_proc(): entry
    sc16is7xx_set_termios(): entry
    sc16is7xx_set_baud(): DLH/DLL = $009C --&gt; access special register set
    sc16is7xx_port_irq() entry            --&gt; IIR is 0x0C
    sc16is7xx_handle_rx() entry
    sc16is7xx_fifo_read(): --&gt; unable to access FIFO (RHR) because it is
                               mapped to DLL (LCR=LCR_CONF_MODE_A)
    sc16is7xx_set_baud(): exit --&gt; Restore access to general register set

Fix the problem by claiming the efr_lock mutex when accessing the Special
register set.

<title>serial: sc16is7xx: fix TX fifo corruption</title>

<content type='text'>
Sometimes, when a packet is received on channel A at almost the same time
as a packet is about to be transmitted on channel B, we observe with a
logic analyzer that the received packet on channel A is transmitted on
channel B. In other words, the Tx buffer data on channel B is corrupted
with data from channel A.

The problem appeared since commit 4409df5866b7 ("serial: sc16is7xx: change
EFR lock to operate on each channels"), which changed the EFR locking to
operate on each channel instead of chip-wise.

This commit has introduced a regression, because the EFR lock is used not
only to protect the EFR registers access, but also, in a very obscure and
undocumented way, to protect access to the data buffer, which is shared by
the Tx and Rx handlers, but also by each channel of the IC.

Fix this regression first by switching to kfifo_out_linear_ptr() in
sc16is7xx_handle_tx() to eliminate the need for a shared Rx/Tx buffer.

Secondly, replace the chip-wise Rx buffer with a separate Rx buffer for
each channel.

Calling ioctl TIOCSSERIAL with an invalid baud_base can
result in uartclk being zero, which will result in a
divide by zero error in uart_get_divisor(). The check for
uartclk being zero in uart_set_info() needs to be done
before other settings are made as subsequent calls to
ioctl TIOCSSERIAL for the same port would be impacted if
the uartclk check was done where uartclk gets set.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

Pull tty / serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is a small set of tty and serial driver updates for 6.11-rc1. Not
  much happened this cycle, unlike the previous kernel release which had
  lots of "excitement" in this part of the kernel. Included in here are
  the following changes:

   - dt binding updates for new platforms

   - 8250 driver updates

   - various small serial driver fixes and updates

   - printk/console naming and matching attempt #2 (was reverted for
     6.10-final, should be good to go this time around, acked by the
     relevant maintainers).

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Let's add serial_base_match_and_update_preferred_console() for consoles
using DEVNAME:0.0 style naming.

The earlier approach to add it caused issues in the kernel command line
ordering as we were calling __add_preferred_console() again for the
deferred consoles.

<title>serial: qcom-geni: do not kill the machine on fifo underrun</title>

The Qualcomm GENI serial driver did not handle buffer flushing and used
to print discarded characters when the circular buffer was cleared.
Since commit 1788cf6a91d9 ("tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo")
this instead resulted in a hard lockup due to
qcom_geni_serial_send_chunk_fifo() spinning indefinitely in the
interrupt handler.

The underlying bugs have now been fixed, but make sure to output NUL
characters instead of killing the machine if a similar driver bug is
ever reintroduced.
