<content type='text'>
Issue where unprintable characters can occur or output is cut off over
the serial uart / linux console depending on timing.

Problem occurs when changing the serial baud rate when setting up the
new console.The bcm63xx driver does a disable and flush of the uart tx
fifo while there is data still in the tx fifo.

If the tx fifo still has data it is trying to send out, we need to wait
until it is empty before disabling and flushing the uart.

When we now go to change the uart parameters including speed we check
if there is data currently in the tx fifo.If there is was mdelay(10)
and check again.If it tries 3 times and still has data in it we just
continue and sacrifice the tx fifo buffer.

A cleaner and more preferred approach would be to remove :
- spin_lock_irqsave()
- bcm_uart_disable()
- bcm_uart_flush()

However it is not clear if the author put those in to fix another
underlying issue.As a result this solution is a safer approach.

Output before the fix:
[0.306000] 14e00520.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x14e00520 (irq = 9, base_baud = 1687500) is a° 0.315000] console[ttyS0] enabled

Output verified after the fix:
[0.315000] 14e00520.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x14e00520 (irq = 9, base_baud = 1687500) is a bcm63xx_uart [0.334000] console[ttyS0] enabled

Check for uart_ops structures that are only stored in the ops field of a
uart_port structure.  This field is declared const, so uart_ops structures
that have this property can be declared as const also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct uart_ops i@p = { ... };

The bcm63xx_uart driver uses the of alias for determing its id. Recent
changes in dts files changed the expected 'uartX' to the recommended
'serialX', breaking serial output. Fix this by checking for a 'serialX'
alias as well.

 "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

  They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
  drivers.  They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
  just removing a line in a structure.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
  acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
  changes.

  Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

We don't really need to perform the ioremap "on demand" so it's simpler
just to do it from the probe function.  This also lets us eliminate the
UART_REG_SIZE constant and rely on the resource information passed in
from the DT or platform code.

This enables early console output if there is a chosen/stdout-path
property referencing a UART node with the "brcm,bcm6345-uart" compatible
string.  The bootloader sets up the pinmux and baud/parity/etc.
Tested on bcm3384 (MIPS, DT).
