[ Upstream commit 4e0f5cc65098ea32a1e77baae74215b9bd5276b1 ]

Otherwise the interconnect related code implementing PM runtime will
produce these errors on a failed probe:

omap_uart 48066000.serial: omap_device: omap_device_enable() called from invalid state 1
omap_uart 48066000.serial: use pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend() in driver?

Note that we now also need to check for priv in omap8250_runtime_suspend()
as it has not yet been registered if probe fails. And we need to use
pm_runtime_put_sync() to properly idle the device like we already do
in omap8250_remove().

<title>tty: nozomi: avoid a harmless gcc warning</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a4f642a8a3c2838ad09fe8313d45db46600e1478 ]

The nozomi wireless data driver has its own helper function to
transfer data from a FIFO, doing an extra byte swap on big-endian
architectures, presumably to bring the data back into byte-serial
order after readw() or readl() perform their implicit byteswap.

This helper function is used in the receive_data() function to
first read the length into a 32-bit variable, which causes
a compile-time warning:

drivers/tty/nozomi.c: In function 'receive_data':
drivers/tty/nozomi.c:857:9: warning: 'size' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

The problem is that gcc is unsure whether the data was actually
read or not. We know that it is at this point, so we can replace
it with a single readl() to shut up that warning.

I am leaving the byteswap in there, to preserve the existing
behavior, even though this seems fishy: Reading the length of
the data into a cpu-endian variable should normally not use
a second byteswap on big-endian systems, unless the hardware
is aware of the CPU endianess.

There appears to be a lot more confusion about endianess in this
driver, so it probably has not worked on big-endian systems in
a long time, if ever, and I have no way to test it. It's well
possible that this driver has not been used by anyone in a while,
the last patch that looks like it was tested on the hardware is
from 2008.

<title>tty/serial: atmel: RS485 half duplex w/DMA: enable RX after TX is done</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b389f173aaa1204d6dc1f299082a162eb0491545 ]

When using RS485 in half duplex, RX should be enabled when TX is
finished, and stopped when TX starts.

Before commit 0058f0871efe7b01c6 ("tty/serial: atmel: fix RS485 half
duplex with DMA"), RX was not disabled in atmel_start_tx() if the DMA
was used. So, collisions could happened.

But disabling RX in atmel_start_tx() uncovered another bug:
RX was enabled again in the wrong place (in atmel_tx_dma) instead of
being enabled when TX is finished (in atmel_complete_tx_dma), so the
transmission simply stopped.

This bug was not triggered before commit 0058f0871efe7b01c6
("tty/serial: atmel: fix RS485 half duplex with DMA") because RX was
never disabled before.

Moving atmel_start_rx() in atmel_complete_tx_dma() corrects the problem.

[ Upstream commit 88e2582e90bb89fe895ff0dceeb5d5ab65d07997 ]

With serdev we might end up with serial ports that have no cdev exported
to userspace, as they are used as the bus interface to other devices. In
that case serial_match_port() won't be able to find a matching tty_dev.

Skip the irq wakeup enabling in that case, as serdev will make sure to
keep the port active, as long as there are devices depending on it.

[ Upstream commit 7098296a362a96051fa120abf48f0095818b99cd ]

flush_to_ldisc reads port-&gt;itty and checks that it is not NULL,
concurrently release_tty sets port-&gt;itty to NULL. It is possible
that flush_to_ldisc loads port-&gt;itty once, ensures that it is
not NULL, but then reloads it again and uses. The second load
can already return NULL, which will cause a crash.

Use READ_ONCE to read port-&gt;itty.

The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).

[ Upstream commit 1e948479b3d63e3ac0ecca13cbf4921c7d17c168 ]

Make sure to deregister the SPI driver before releasing the tty driver
to avoid use-after-free in the SPI remove callback where the tty
devices are deregistered.

<title>Revert "tty_port: register tty ports with serdev bus"</title>

[ Upstream commit d3ba126a226a6b6da021ebfea444a2a807cde945 ]

This reverts commit 8ee3fde047589dc9c201251f07d0ca1dc776feca.

The new serdev bus hooked into the tty layer in
tty_port_register_device() by registering a serdev controller instead of
a tty device whenever a serdev client is present, and by deregistering
the controller in the tty-port destructor. This is broken in several
ways:

Firstly, it leads to a NULL-pointer dereference whenever a tty driver
later deregisters its devices as no corresponding character device will
exist.

Secondly, far from every tty driver uses tty-port refcounting (e.g.
serial core) so the serdev devices might never be deregistered or
deallocated.

Thirdly, deregistering at tty-port destruction is too late as the
underlying device and structures may be long gone by then. A port is not
released before an open tty device is closed, something which a
registered serdev client can prevent from ever happening. A driver
callback while the device is gone typically also leads to crashes.

Many tty drivers even keep their ports around until the driver is
unloaded (e.g. serial core), something which even if a late callback
never happens, leads to leaks if a device is unbound from its driver and
is later rebound.

The right solution here is to add a new tty_port_unregister_device()
helper and to never call tty_device_unregister() whenever the port has
been claimed by serdev, but since this requires modifying just about
every tty driver (and multiple subsystems) it will need to be done
incrementally.

Reverting the offending patch is the first step in fixing the broken
lifetime assumptions. A follow-up patch will add a new pair of
tty-device registration helpers, which a vetted tty driver can use to
support serdev (initially serial core). When every tty driver uses the
serdev helpers (at least for deregistration), we can add serdev
registration to tty_port_register_device() again.

Note that this also fixes another issue with serdev, which currently
allocates and registers a serdev controller for every tty device
registered using tty_port_device_register() only to immediately
deregister and deallocate it when the corresponding OF node or serdev
child node is missing. This should be addressed before enabling serdev
for hot-pluggable buses.

Register a serdev controller with the serdev bus when a tty_port is
registered. This creates the serdev controller and create's serdev
devices for any DT child nodes of the tty_port's parent (i.e. the UART
