serial: 8250: add IRQ trigger support

2009-09-19T20:13:19+00:00

There is currently no provision for passing IRQ trigger flags for
serial IRQs with triggering requirements (such as GPIO IRQs)

This patch adds irqflags to plat_serial8250_port that can be passed
from board file to reqest_irq() of 8250 driver

Changes are backward compatible with boards passing UPF_SHARE_IRQ flag

Tested on Zoom2 board that has IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING requirement for 8250 irq

[Moved new flag to end to fix bugs in the original with the old_serial array

Serial: Allow port type to be specified when calling serial8250_register_port.

2009-01-02T18:19:43+00:00

Add flag value UPF_FIXED_TYPE which specifies that the UART type is
known and should not be probed.  For this case the UARTs properties
are just copied out of the uart_config entry.

This allows us to keep SOC specific 8250 probe code out of 8250.c.  In
this case we know the serial hardware will not be changing as it is on
the same silicon as the CPU, and we can specify it with certainty in
the board/cpu setup code.

The alternative is to load up 8250.c with a bunch of OCTEON specific
special cases in the probing code.

8250: Serial driver changes to support future Cavium OCTEON serial patches.

2009-01-02T18:19:43+00:00

In order to use Cavium OCTEON specific serial i/o drivers, we first
patch the 8250 driver to use replaceable I/O functions.  Compatible
I/O functions are added for existing iotypeS.

An added benefit of this change is that it makes it easy to factor
some of the existing special cases out to board/SOC specific support
code.

The alternative is to load up 8250.c with a bunch of OCTEON specific
iotype code and bug work-arounds.

sm501: add uart support

2008-04-28T15:58:32+00:00

This patch extends the sm501 mfd with 8250 uart support. We're currently
doing this in the board specific r2d-1 code already, but it would be nice to
do move things into the mfd since it's more chip specific than board specific.

8250.c: support specifying DW APB UARTs in device platform_data

2008-02-05T17:44:09+00:00

Allow the private_data field to be specified in platform_data for the
standard 8250/16550 UART.  This field is used by DW APB type UARTs and
without this patch it's only possible to set this field when registering
the port by hand.  If private_data is not set then the driver will
potentially oops with a NULL pointer dereference.

Use resource_size_t for serial port IO addresses

2007-07-24T19:24:58+00:00

At present, various parts of the serial code use unsigned long to define
resource addresses.  This is a problem, because some 32-bit platforms have
physical addresses larger than 32-bits, and have mmio serial uarts located
above the 4GB point.

This patch changes the type of mapbase in both struct uart_port and struct
plat_serial8250_port to resource_size_t, which can be configured to be 64
bits on such platforms.  The mapbase in serial_struct can't safely be
changed, because that structure is user visible.

serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250

2007-07-16T16:05:35+00:00

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

[PATCH] Exar quad port serial

2006-12-07T16:39:35+00:00

This is on our "Envoy" boxes which we have, according to the documentation, an
"Exar ST16C554/554D Quad UART with 16-byte Fifo's".  The box also has two
other "on-board" serial ports and a modem chip.

The two on-board serial UARTs were being detected along with the first two
Exar UARTs.  The last two Exar UARTs were not showing up and neither was the
modem.

This patch was the only way I could the kernel to see beyond the standard four
serial ports and get all four of the Exar UARTs to show up.

2006-03-25T23:03:13+00:00

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

Add a PLAT8250_DEV_PLATFORM2, and convert the two ixdp2x01 CPLD serial
ports to use platform serial devices with ids PLAT8250_DEV_PLATFORM[12].
(The on-chip xscale UART is PLAT8250_DEV_PLATFORM, id #0.)
