The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.

This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.

If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0"
or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.

The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable
devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified
device won't be found.  The sun serial drivers would only register
themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
device node matched.  To fix this part we now unconditionally get
the serial console register by setting serial_drv-&gt;cons always.

Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware
provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel
command line using "console="  The "primary framebuffer" matching
logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make
it not when a command line override was given.

RSC and LOM devices have fixed speed settings.

We already had some code to match and handle "rsc" named devices on
E250 systems, but we also have to handle 'rsc-console', 'rsc-control',
and 'lom-console'.

Also, in order to get this right regardless of what 'output-device'
happens to be, explicitly pass the UART device node pointer to this
routine.

This tells the logic to ignore the line match when deciding whether the
device is the OpenFirmware specified console device or not.

This is going to be used in the SU driver for rsc-console detection.

There is probably a better way to handle this, but this is the least
intrusive solution for now which we can validate won't break any other
cases.

We're exporting an __init function, oops :-)

The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked
as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from
a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers
need to do.

There is no harm in dropping the __init marker.  This code will
actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver,
except that init will probably not pick up the console change
without some other support code.

Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match()
and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules.

This patch against 2.6.23 sparc-2.6.git contains a number of minor
cleanups of the sparc serial drivers.  Initially I fixed this build
warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x107a2c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:add_preferred_console (between 'sunserial_console_match' and 'sunserial_console_termios')

which is done by declaring sunserial_console_match() as __init.  This
resulted in build warnings on sunserial_current_minor.  To resolve
these the variable was changed so it is no longer global, and to hide
operations on it inside 2 new functions. These functions handle the
UART minor handling code that is common to all sparc serial drivers.

These changes allowed to clean up the uart counters in all the sparc
serial drivers, and the administration of minor device numbers.

Lastly, sunserial_console_termios() does not need to be exported since
it is only called from non-modular code.

Sadly, the following build warning still exists:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x2910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sunserial_console_match (between '__ksymtab_sunserial_console_match' and '__ksymtab_sunserial_unregister_minors')

This could be resolved by not exporting sunserial_console_match(), but
this is not possible at the moment because it is being called from
modular code. On the other hand, this is a bogus warning since it
comes from a ksymtab section.

The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.

The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.

Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.

This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.

The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.

Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

The Linux kernel ignored the PROM's serial settings (115200,n,8,1 in
my case). This was because mode_prop remained "ttyX-mode" (expected:
"ttya-mode") due to the constness of string literals when used with
"char *". Since there is no "ttyX-mode" property in the PROM, Linux
always used the default 9600.

[ Investigation of the suncore.s assembler reveals that gcc optimizied
  away the stores, yet did not emit a warning, which is a pretty
  anti-social thing to do and is the only reason this bug lived for
  so long -DaveM ]
