serial: 8250_pci: Add support for 16 port Exar boards

2015-04-28T18:22:31+00:00

The Exar XR17V358 chip usually provides only 8 ports. But two chips can be
combined to act as a single 16 port chip. Therefor one chip is configured
as master the second as slave by connecting the mode pin to VCC (master)
or GND (slave).

Then the master chip is reporting a different device-id depending on
whether a slave is detected or not. The UARTs 8-15 are addressed from
0x2000-0x3fff. So the offset of 0x400 from UART to UART can be used to
address all 16 ports as before.

serial: samsung: fix serial console break

2015-04-28T12:27:38+00:00

This patch fixes problems with serial console break. When function
s3c64xx_serial_startup() was started while serial console has been working,
it caused lose of characters written to TX FIFO. This effect was particularly
observable with systemd, which closes serial port every time when it's
not currently needed, hence function s3c64xx_serial_startup() is called
quite often there. To fix this problem we avoid resetting TX FIFO if port is
used as serial console.

Example of broken console log:

Maxburst was not set when doing the dma slave configuration. This value
is checked by the recently introduced xdmac. It causes an error when
doing the slave configuration and so prevents from using dma.

serial: of-serial: Remove device_type = "serial" registration

2015-04-28T12:27:38+00:00

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.

serial: xilinx: Use platform_get_irq to get irq description structure

2015-04-28T12:26:21+00:00

For systems with CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM=y and device_type =
"serial"; property in DT of_serial.c driver maps and unmaps IRQ (because
driver probe fails). Then a driver is called but irq mapping is not
created that's why driver is failing again in again on request_irq().
Based on this use platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_resource()
which is doing irq_desc allocation and driver itself can request IRQ.

Fix both xilinx serial drivers in the tree.

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1.

  It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the
  console command line parsing changes that are in here.  There's still
  one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple
  console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some
  odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that.  If not, I'll send a
  revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can
  address it.

  Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver
  updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that
  driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices
  in the future.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"
