<content type='text'>
On the Renesas RZ/G3S, when doing suspend to RAM, the uart_suspend_port()
is called. The uart_suspend_port() calls 3 times the
struct uart_port::ops::tx_empty() before shutting down the port.

According to the documentation, the struct uart_port::ops::tx_empty()
API tests whether the transmitter FIFO and shifter for the port is
empty.

The Renesas RZ/G3S SCIFA IP reports the number of data units stored in the
transmit FIFO through the FDR (FIFO Data Count Register). The data units
in the FIFOs are written in the shift register and transmitted from there.
The TEND bit in the Serial Status Register reports if the data was
transmitted from the shift register.

In the previous code, in the tx_empty() API implemented by the sh-sci
driver, it is considered that the TX is empty if the hardware reports the
TEND bit set and the number of data units in the FIFO is zero.

According to the HW manual, the TEND bit has the following meaning:

0: Transmission is in the waiting state or in progress.
1: Transmission is completed.

It has been noticed that when opening the serial device w/o using it and
then switch to a power saving mode, the tx_empty() call in the
uart_port_suspend() function fails, leading to the "Unable to drain
transmitter" message being printed on the console. This is because the
TEND=0 if nothing has been transmitted and the FIFOs are empty. As the
TEND=0 has double meaning (waiting state, in progress) we can't
determined the scenario described above.

Add a software workaround for this. This sets a variable if any data has
been sent on the serial console (when using PIO) or if the DMA callback has
been called (meaning something has been transmitted). In the tx_empty()
API the status of the DMA transaction is also checked and if it is
completed or in progress the code falls back in checking the hardware
registers instead of relying on the software variable.

The early_console_setup() function initializes the sci_ports[0].port with
an object of type struct uart_port obtained from the object of type
struct earlycon_device received as argument by the early_console_setup().

It may happen that later, when the rest of the serial ports are probed,
the serial port that was used as earlycon (e.g., port A) to be mapped to a
different position in sci_ports[] and the slot 0 to be used by a different
serial port (e.g., port B), as follows:

sci_ports[0] = port A
sci_ports[X] = port B

In this case, the new port mapped at index zero will have associated data
that was used for earlycon.

In case this happens, after Linux boot, any access to the serial port that
maps on sci_ports[0] (port A) will block the serial port that was used as
earlycon (port B).

To fix this, add early_console_exit() that clean the sci_ports[0] at
earlycon exit time.

<title>serial: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()</title>

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/tty/serial to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

<content type='text'>
Add serial support for RZ/V2H(P) SoC with earlycon.

The SCIF interface in the Renesas RZ/V2H(P) is similar to that available
in the RZ/G2L (R9A07G044) SoC, with the following differences:

- RZ/V2H(P) SoC has three additional interrupts: one for Tx end/Rx ready
  and two for Rx and Tx buffer full, all of which are edge-triggered.
- RZ/V2H(P) supports asynchronous mode, whereas RZ/G2L supports both
  synchronous and asynchronous modes.
- There are differences in the configuration of certain registers such
  as SCSMR, SCFCR, and SCSPTR between the two SoCs.

To handle these differences on RZ/V2H(P) SoC SCIx_RZV2H_SCIF_REGTYPE
is added.

The hrtimer for RXDMA timeout was unconditionally restarted in the RXDMA
complete handler ignoring the fact that setting up DMA may fail and PIO
is used instead. Explicitly stop the timer when DMA is completed and
only restart it when setting up DMA was successful. This makes the
intention of the timer much clearer, the driver easier to understand and
simplifies assumptions about the timer. The latter avoids race
conditions if these assumptions were not met or confused.

Switch from struct circ_buf to proper kfifo. kfifo provides much better
API, esp. when wrap-around of the buffer needs to be taken into account.
Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example.

Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier
for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that
not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they
handle DMA specially.

Note that usb-serial uses kfifo for TX for ages.

omap needed a bit more care as it needs to put a char into FIFO to start
the DMA transfer when OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK is set. In that case, we have to
do kfifo_dma_out_prepare twice: once to find out the tx_size (to find
out if it is worths to do DMA at all -- size &gt;= 4), the second time for
the actual transfer.

All traces of circ_buf are removed from serial_core.h (and its struct
uart_state).
