With the removal of tty_wait_until_sent_from_close(), tty drivers
no longer wait during open for parallel closes to complete (instead,
the tty core waits before calling the driver open() method). Thus,
the close_wait waitqueue is no longer used for waiting.

Remove struct tty_port::close_wait.

There are three natural ways in which devices may be wired to the system:
little endian (device receives correctly ordered bits of a word written
by little-endian CPU to its register, but big-endian CPU needs to swap
bytes of a word before writing it), big endian (same, but with big-endian
CPU in more favourable position) and native endian (CPU of either
endianness may do word-sized I/O without need for byteswapping).

Adding an option for native endianness allows using single kernel command
line for boards with native-endian serial ports on bi-endian
architectures. This goes in parallel with 'native-endian' DTS attribute.

serial core does not use tty_port_open() or tty_port_close(); serial
core defines and extends it's own tty open() and close() methods
(uart_open() and uart_close(), respectively).

Remove the tty_port activate() and shutdown() initializations, and
the uart_port_activate() function, which is never called.

NB: uart_port_shutdown() is used by uart_close() =&gt; uart_shutdown()
call chain (but not via the tty_port methods).

<title>serial: core: Fix crashes while echoing when closing</title>

While closing, new rx data may be received after the input buffers
have been flushed but before stop_rx() halts receiving [1]. The
new data might not be processed by flush_to_ldisc() until after
uart_shutdown() and normal input processing is re-enabled (ie.,
tty-&gt;closing = 0). The race is outlined below:

CPU 0                         | CPU 1
                              |

   tty_port_close_start()     |
      tty-&gt;closing = 1        |
      tty_ldisc_flush()       |
                              | =&gt; IRQ
                              |   while (LSR &amp; data ready)
                              |      uart_insert_char()
                              |   tty_flip_buffer_push()
                              | &lt;= EOI
   stop_rx()                  |   .
   uart_shutdown()            |   .
      free xmit.buf           |   .
   tty_port_tty_set(NULL)     |   .
   tty-&gt;closing = 0           |   .
                              | flush_to_ldisc()
                              |   n_tty_receive_buf_common()
                              |      __receive_buf()
                              |         ...

                              | ** OOPS on port.tty deref **
   tty_ldisc_flush()          |

Input processing must be prevented from echoing (tty-&gt;closing = 1)
until _after_ the input buffers have been flushed again at the end
of uart_close().

[1] In fact, some input may actually be buffered _after_ stop_rx()
since the rx interrupt may have already triggered but not yet been
handled when stop_rx() disables rx interrupts.

tty_name no longer uses the buf parameter, so remove it along with all
the 64 byte stack buffers that used to be passed in.

Mostly generated by the coccinelle script

@depends on patch@
identifier buf;
constant C;
expression tty;
@@
- char buf[C];
  &lt;+...
- tty_name(tty, buf)
+ tty_name(tty)
  ...+&gt;

allmodconfig compiles, so I'm fairly confident the stack buffers
weren't used for other purposes as well.
