tty/serial/core: Introduce poll_init callback

2012-09-26T20:47:02Z

It was noticed that polling drivers (like KGDB) are not able to use serial ports if the ports were not previously initialized via console. I.e. when booting with console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0, everything works fine, but with console=ttyFOO kgdboc=ttyAMA0, the kgdboc doesn't work. This is because we don't initialize the hardware. Calling ->startup() is not an option, because drivers request interrupts there, and drivers fail to handle situations when tty isn't opened with interrupts enabled. So, we have to implement a new callback (actually, tty_ops already have a similar callback), which does everything needed to initialize just the hardware.

8250: blacklist Winbond CIR port

2012-09-26T20:25:41Z

The legacy serial driver will detect the Winbond CIR device as a serial port, since it looks exactly like a serial port unless you know what it is from the PNP ID. Here we track this port as a special PORT_8250_CIR type, preventing the legacy serial driver from probing it. Signed-off-by: Sean Young Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: New serial driver MAX310X

2012-08-16T19:12:25Z

This driver is a replacement for a MAX3107 driver with a lot of improvements and new features. The main differences from the old version: - Using the regmap. - Using devm_XXX-related functions. - The use of threaded IRQ with IRQF_ONESHOT flag allows the driver to the hardware that supports only level IRQ. - Improved error handling of serial port, improved FIFO handling, improved hardware & software flow control. - Advanced flags allows turn on RS-485 mode (Auto direction control). - Ability to load multiple instances of drivers. - Added support for MAX3108. - GPIO support. - Driver is quite ready for adding I2C support and support other ICs with compatible registers set (MAX3109, MAX14830).

serial/8250: Add LPC3220 standard UART type

2012-06-12T22:45:56Z

LPC32xx has "Standard" UARTs that are actually 16550A compatible but have bigger FIFOs. Since the already supported 16X50 line still doesn't match here, we agreed on adding a new type. Signed-off-by: Roland Stigge Acked-by: Alan Cox Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tegra, serial8250: add ->handle_break() uart_port op

2012-04-18T22:07:53Z

The "KT" serial port has another use case for a "received break" quirk, so before adding another special case to the 8250 core take this opportunity to push such quirks out of the core and into a uart_port op. Stephen says: "If the callback function is to no longer live in 8250.c itself, arch/arm/mach-tegra/devices.c isn't logically a good place to put it, and that file will be going away once we get rid of all the board files and move solely to device tree." ...so since 8250_pci.c houses all the quirks for pci serial devices this quirk is similarly housed in of_serial.c. Once the open firmware conversion completes the infrastructure details (include/linux/of_serial.h, and the export) can all be removed to make this self contained to of_serial.c.

serial/8250_pci: add a "force background timer" flag and use it for the "kt" serial port

2012-04-09T17:38:30Z

Workaround dropped notifications in the iir register. Register reads coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read data. The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device has an untrustworthy iir register. In this case when we apriori know that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and force usage of the background timer.

Revert "serial/8250_pci: setup-quirk workaround for the kt serial controller"

2012-04-09T17:34:52Z

This reverts commit 448ac154c957c4580531fa0c8f2045816fe2f0e7. The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events. An modem status event at the wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status leading to a hang. So, revert this in preparation for using the existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core (UART_BUG_THRE).

serial: introduce generic port in/out helpers

2012-03-09T20:47:56Z

Looking at the existing serial drivers (esp. the 8250 derived variants) we see a common trend. They create a hardware specific port struct, which in turn contains a generic serial_port struct. The other trend, is that they all create some sort of shortcut to go through the hardware specific struct, to the serial_port struct, which has the basic in/out operations within. Looking for the serial_in and serial_out in several drivers shows this. Rather than let this continue, lets create a generic set of similar helper wrappers that can be used on a struct port, so we can eliminate bouncing out through hardware specific struct pointers just to come back into struct port where possible.
