Revert "tty/8250_pnp: serial port detection regression since v3.7"

2013-04-08T18:30:04+00:00

This reverts commit 77e372a3d82e5e4878ce1962207edd766773cc76.

Checking for disabled resources board breaks detection pnp on another
board "AMI UEFI implementation (Version: 0406 Release Date: 06/06/2012)".
I'm working with the reporter of the original bug to write and test
a better fix.

TTY: 8250, deprecated 8250_core.* options

They were introduced by mistake in 3.7. Let's deprecate them now. For
the reasons, see the text in Kconfig below.

TTY: 8250, revert module name change

2013-03-25T23:26:23+00:00

In 3.7 the 8250 module name was changed unintentionally from 8250 to
8250_core by commit 835d844d1a28efba81d5aca7385e24c29d3a6db2
(8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe). We then had to
re-introduce the old module options to ensure the old good
8250.nr_uart & co. still work. This can be done only by a very dirty
hack and we did it in f2b8dfd9e480c3db3bad0c25c590a5d11b31f4ef
(serial: 8250: Keep 8250. module options functional after driver
rename).

That is so damn ugly so that I decided to revert to the old module
name and deprecate the new 8250_core options present in 3.7 and 3.8
only. The deprecation will happen in the following patch.

Note that this patch changes the hack above to support "8250_core.*",
because we now have "8250.*" natively.

serial: 8250_pci: Add WCH CH352 quirk to avoid Xscale detection

2013-03-15T20:27:35+00:00

The code in 8250.c for detecting ARM/XScale UARTs says:

  * Try writing and reading the UART_IER_UUE bit (b6).
  * If it works, this is probably one of the Xscale platform's
  * internal UARTs.

If the above passes, it then goes on to:

     * It's an Xscale.
     * We'll leave the UART_IER_UUE bit set to 1 (enabled).

However, the CH352 uses the UART_IER_UUE as the LOWPOWER function,
so it is readable and writable.  According to the datasheet:

    "LOWPOWER:When the bit is 1, close the internal benchmark
     clock of serial port to set into low-power status.

So it essentially gets mis-detected as Xscale, and gets
powered down in the process.  The device in question where
this was seen is listed by lspci as:

 Serial controller: Device 4348:3253 (rev 10) (prog-if 02 [16550])

Re-using the 353 quirk which just sets flags to fixed and type
to 16550 is suitable for fixing the 352 as well.

serial: 8250: Keep 8250. module options functional after driver rename

2013-03-12T15:53:23+00:00

With commit 835d844d1 (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe), the
8250 driver was renamed to 8250_core.  This means any existing usage of
the 8259. module parameters or as a kernel command line switch is
now broken, as the 8250_core driver doesn't parse options belonging to
something called "8250".

To solve this, we redefine the module options in a dummy function using
a redefined MODULE_PARAM_PREFX when built into the kernel.  In the case
where we're building as a module, we provide an alias to the old 8250
name.  The dummy function prevents compiler errors due to global variable
redefinitions that happen as part of the module_param_ macro expansions.

tty/8250_pnp: serial port detection regression since v3.7

2013-03-12T15:53:23+00:00

The InsydeH2O BIOS (version dated 09/12/2011) has the following in
its pnp resouces for its serial ports:

$ cat /sys/bus/pnp/devices/00:0b/resources
state = active
io disabled
irq disabled

We do not check if the resources are disabled, and create a bogus
ttyS* device. Since commit 835d844d1a28e (8250_pnp: do pnp probe
before legacy probe) we get a bogus ttyS0, which prevents the legacy
probe from detecting it.

Note, the BIOS can also be upgraded, fixing this problem, but for people
who can't do that, this fix is needed.

Fix 4 port and add support for 8 port 'Unknown' PCI serial port cards

2013-03-12T15:53:23+00:00

I've managed to find an 8 port version of the card 4 port card which was discussed here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-serial&m=120760744205314&w=2

Looking back at that thread there were two issues in the original patch.

1) The I/O ports for the UARTs are within BAR2 not BAR0. This can been seen in the original post.
2) A serial quirk isn't needed as these cards have no memory in BAR0 which makes pci_plx9050_init just return.

This patch fixes the 4 port support to use BAR2, removes the bogus quirk and adds support for the 8 port card.
