of_device_ids (i.e. compatible strings and the respective data) are not
supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with of_device_ids
provided by &lt;linux/of.h&gt; work with const of_device_ids. This allows to
mark all struct of_device_id const, too.

While touching these line also put the __init annotation at the right
position where necessary.

<title>powerpc/serial: Use saner flags when creating legacy ports</title>

We had a mix &amp; match of flags used when creating legacy ports
depending on where we found them in the device-tree. Among others
we were missing UPF_SKIP_TEST for some kind of ISA ports which is
a problem as quite a few UARTs out there don't support the loopback
test (such as a lot of BMCs).

Let's pick the set of flags used by the SoC code and generalize it
which means autoconf, no loopback test, irq maybe shared and fixed
port.

Sending to stable as the lack of UPF_SKIP_TEST is breaking
serial on some machines so I want this back into distros

<title>powerpc/legacy_serial: Support MVME5100 UARTS with shifted registers</title>

<id>13ae40370f62cd73f90aca34feb44bac83f41075</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support to legacy serial for
UARTS with shifted registers.

The MVME5100 Single Board Computer is a PowerPC platform
that has 16550 style UARTS with register addresses that are
16 bytes apart (shifted by 4).

Commit 	309257484cc1a592e8ac5fbdd8cd661be2b80bf8
"powerpc: Cleanup udbg_16550 and add support for LPC PIO-only UARTs"
added support to udbg_16550 for shifted registers by adding a "stride"
parameter to the initialisation operations for Programmed IO and
Memory Mapped IO.

As a consequence it is now possible to use the services of legacy serial
to provide early serial console messages for the MVME5100.

An added benefit of this is that the serial console will always be
"ttyS0" irrespective of whether the computer is fitted with extra
PCI 8250 interface boards or not.

I have tested this patch using the four PowerPC platforms available to me:

	MVME5100 - shifted registers,
	SAM440EP - unshifted registers,
	MPC8349 - unshifted registers,
	MVME4100 - unshifted registers.

The udbg_16550 code, which we use for our early consoles and debug
backends was fairly messy. Especially for the debug consoles, it
would re-implement the "high level" getc/putc/poll functions for
each access method. It also had code to configure the UART but only
for the straight MMIO method.

This changes it to instead abstract at the register accessor level,
and have the various functions and configuration routines use these.

The result is simpler and slightly smaller code, and free support
for non-MMIO mapped PIO UARTs, which such as the ones that can be
present on a POWER 8 LPC bus.
