Commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces
bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for any
bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to
its caller.

This change is for macio bus based drivers.

This reverts commit 5c7e105cd156fc9adf5294a83623d7a40c15f9b9.

As identified by KASAN, the simplification done by the cleanup patch
was not legal.

&gt;From tracing through the code, it can be seen that we're transmitting
from a 4096-byte circular buffer. We copy anywhere from 1-4 bytes from
it each time. The simplification runs into trouble when we get near
the end of the circular buffer. For instance, we might start out with
xmit-&gt;tail = 4094 and we want to transfer 4 bytes. With the code
before simplification this was no problem. We'd read buf[4094],
buf[4095], buf[0], and buf[1]. With the new code we'll do a
memcpy(&amp;buf[4094], 4) which reads 2 bytes past the end of the buffer
and then skips transmitting what's at buf[0] and buf[1].

KASAN isn't 100% consistent at reporting this for me, but to be extra
confident in the analysis, I added traces of the tail and tx_bytes and
then wrote a test program:

  while true; do
    echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0" &gt; /dev/ttyMSM0
    sleep .1
  done

I watched the traces over SSH and saw:
  qcom_geni_serial_send_chunk_fifo: 4093 4
  qcom_geni_serial_send_chunk_fifo: 1 3

Which indicated that one byte should be missing. Sure enough the
output that should have been:

  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0

In one case was actually missing a byte:

  abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyz0

Running "ls -al" on large directories also made the missing bytes
obvious since columns didn't line up.

While the original code may not be the most elegant, we only talking
about copying up to 4 bytes here. Let's just go back to the code that
worked.

<title>tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: avoid idle preamble pending if CTS is enabled</title>

<content type='text'>
If the remote uart device is not connected or not enabled after booting
up, the CTS line is high by default. At this time, if we enable the flow
control when opening the device(for example, using “stty -F /dev/ttyLP4
crtscts” command), there will be a pending idle preamble(first writing 0
and then writing 1 to UARTCTRL_TE will queue an idle preamble) that
cannot be sent out, resulting in the uart port fail to close(waiting for
TX empty), so the user space stty will have to wait for a long time or
forever.

This is an LPUART IP bug(idle preamble has higher priority than CTS),
here add a workaround patch to enable TX CTS after enabling UARTCTRL_TE,
so that the idle preamble does not get stuck due to CTS is deasserted.

<title>serial: Lock console when calling into driver before registration</title>

<content type='text'>
During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.

In particular, for setup() we have:

univ8250_console_setup()
-&gt; serial8250_console_setup()
-&gt; uart_set_options()
-&gt; serial8250_set_termios()
-&gt; serial8250_do_set_termios()
-&gt; serial8250_do_set_divisor()

For config_port() we have:

serial8250_config_port()
-&gt; autoconfig()

For pm() we have:

serial8250_pm()
-&gt; serial8250_do_pm()
-&gt; serial8250_set_sleep()

For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):

serial8250_set_mctrl()
-&gt; omap8250_set_mctrl()
-&gt; __omap8250_set_mctrl()

To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.

Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().

Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.

During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.

In particular, for setup() we have:

univ8250_console_setup()
-&gt; serial8250_console_setup()
-&gt; uart_set_options()
-&gt; serial8250_set_termios()
-&gt; serial8250_do_set_termios()
-&gt; serial8250_do_set_divisor()

For config_port() we have:

serial8250_config_port()
-&gt; autoconfig()

For pm() we have:

serial8250_pm()
-&gt; serial8250_do_pm()
-&gt; serial8250_set_sleep()

For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):

serial8250_set_mctrl()
-&gt; omap8250_set_mctrl()
-&gt; __omap8250_set_mctrl()

Since we have now a common helper to read port properties
use it instead of sparse home grown solution.
