linux-toradex.git/drivers/tty/ehv_bytechan.c, branch v3.6.1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules TTY: remove re-assignments to tty_driver members 2012-03-08T19:37:58+00:00 Jiri Slaby jslaby@suse.cz 2012-03-05T13:51:52+00:00 2f16669d322e05171c9e1cfd94f402f7399bd2a3 All num, magic and owner are set by alloc_tty_driver. No need to re-set them on each allocation site. pti driver sets something different to what it passes to alloc_tty_driver. It is not a bug, since we don't use the lines parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right thing.

alloc_tty_driver. It is not a bug, since we don't use the lines
parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right

drivers/tty: don't use the byte channel handle as a parameter in ehv_bytechan.c 2011-09-26T23:38:43+00:00 Timur Tabi timur@freescale.com 2011-09-23T01:33:13+00:00 fd01a7a1bf6722e32efa679f15507148784af1f7 The ePAPR hypervisor byte channel console driver only supports one byte channel as a console, and the byte channel handle is stored in a global variable. It doesn't make any sense to pass that handle as a parameter to the console functions, since these functions already have access to the global variable.

tty/powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor byte channel driver 2011-08-23T17:32:56+00:00 Timur Tabi timur@freescale.com 2011-07-09T00:06:12+00:00 dcd83aaff1c8cbd5b48c152b559e0af3ea1a7b65 The ePAPR embedded hypervisor specification provides an API for "byte channels", which are serial-like virtual devices for sending and receiving streams of bytes. This driver provides Linux kernel support for byte channels via three distinct interfaces: 1) An early-console (udbg) driver. This provides early console output through a byte channel. The byte channel handle must be specified in a Kconfig option. 2) A normal console driver. Output is sent to the byte channel designated for stdout in the device tree. The console driver is for handling kernel printk calls. 3) A tty driver, which is used to handle user-space input and output. The byte channel used for the console is designated as the default tty.
