The currently in-use port-&gt;startup and port-&gt;shutdown are "okay". The
startup part for instance does the tiny omap extra part and invokes
serial8250_do_startup() for the remaining pieces. The workflow in
serial8250_do_startup() is okay except for the part where UART_RX is
read without a check if there is something to read. I tried to
workaround it in commit 0aa525d11859 ("tty: serial: 8250_core: read only
RX if there is something in the FIFO") but then reverted it later in
commit ca8bb4aefb9 ("serial: 8250: Revert "tty: serial: 8250_core: read
only RX if there is something in the FIFO"").

This is the second attempt to get it to work on older OMAPs without
breaking other chips this time
Peter Hurley suggested to pull in the few needed lines from
serial8250_do_startup() and drop everything else that is not required
including making it simpler like using just request_irq() instead the
chain handler like it is doing now.
So lets try that.

<title>serial: imx: Fix DMA handling for IDLE condition aborts</title>

<id>392bceedb107a3dc1d4287e63d7670d08f702feb</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver configures the IDLE condition to interrupt the SDMA engine.
Since the SDMA UART ROM script doesn't clear the IDLE bit itself, this
caused repeated 1-byte DMA transfers, regardless of available data in the
RX FIFO. Also, when returning due to the IDLE condition, the UART ROM
script already increased its counter, causing residue to be off by one.

This patch clears the IDLE condition to avoid repeated 1-byte DMA transfers
and decreases count by when the DMA transfer was aborted due to the IDLE
condition, fixing serial transfers using DMA on i.MX6Q.

<title>serial/amba-pl011: Unconditionally poll for FIFO space before each TX char</title>

Commit 734745caeb9f155ab58918834a8c70e83fa6afd3 serial/amba-pl011:
(Activate TX IRQ passively) introduces a race which causes the driver
sometimes to attempt to write a character to the TX FIFO when the FIFO
is already full.

The PL011 does not guarantee its behaviour when the FIFO is overfilled.
In practice, this can cause duplicate and/or dropped characters to be
output on the wire.  The problem is common enough to be readily
observable on the ARM Juno platform when the PL011 UART is used as
the console and DMA is not in use.

This patch fixes this problem by always polling for space before each
character is written to the FIFO.

This will be amended to a less brute-force approach in a later commit,
but this patch should help ensure correct behaviour for now.

This reverts commit f2ee6dfa0e8597eea8b98d240b0033994e20d215.

Jakub Kiciński observed that this patch can cause the pl011
driver to hang if if the only process with a pl011 port open is
killed by a signal, pl011_shutdown() can get called with an
arbitrary amount of data still in the FIFO.

Calling _shutdown() with the TX FIFO non-empty is questionable
behaviour and my itself be a bug.

Since the affected patch was speculative anyway, and brings limited
benefit, the simplest course is to remove the assumption that TXIS
will always be left asserted after the port is shut down.

There is pm_qos_add_request() being executed on serial_omap_probe(),
which stores "&amp;up-&gt;pm_qos_request" from omap-serial driver to
"pm_qos_array[PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY]-&gt;constraints". If
serial_omap_probe() fails after pm_qos_add_request() (e.g. on
uart_add_one_port() call), pm_qos_array still keeping pm_qos_request
struct from omap-serial driver, which is not valid anymore (since driver
failed). This leads further to kernel crash on pm_qos_update_target(),
executing from some completely different driver.

We were observing this while trying to run audio playback while having
one of omap-serial driver instances failed on uart_add_one_port() call:
    Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffffc
    Backtrace:
    (plist_add) from (pm_qos_update_target)

    (do_vfs_ioctl) from (SyS_ioctl)
    (SyS_ioctl) from (ret_fast_syscall)

This patch adds pm_qos_remove_request() on fail path in
serial_omap_probe() in order to fix this issue. While at it, free the
wakeup settings on fail path as well, just like it's done in
serial_omap_remove().

The Exar XR17V358 chip usually provides only 8 ports. But two chips can be
combined to act as a single 16 port chip. Therefor one chip is configured
as master the second as slave by connecting the mode pin to VCC (master)
or GND (slave).

Then the master chip is reporting a different device-id depending on
whether a slave is detected or not. The UARTs 8-15 are addressed from
0x2000-0x3fff. So the offset of 0x400 from UART to UART can be used to
address all 16 ports as before.

This patch fixes problems with serial console break. When function
s3c64xx_serial_startup() was started while serial console has been working,
it caused lose of characters written to TX FIFO. This effect was particularly
observable with systemd, which closes serial port every time when it's
not currently needed, hence function s3c64xx_serial_startup() is called
quite often there. To fix this problem we avoid resetting TX FIFO if port is
used as serial console.

Example of broken console log:

Maxburst was not set when doing the dma slave configuration. This value
is checked by the recently introduced xdmac. It causes an error when
doing the slave configuration and so prevents from using dma.

Do not probe all serial drivers by of_serial.c which are using
device_type = "serial"; property. Only drivers which have valid
compatible strings listed in the driver should be probed.

When PORT_UNKNOWN is setup probe will fail anyway.

Arnd quotation about driver historical background:
"when I wrote that driver initially, the idea was that it would
get used as a stub to hook up all other serial drivers but after
that, the common code learned to create platform devices from DT"

This patch fix the problem with on the system with xilinx_uartps and
16550a where of_serial failed to register for xilinx_uartps and because
of irq_dispose_mapping() removed irq_desc. Then when xilinx_uartps was asking
for irq with request_irq() EINVAL is returned.
