This fixes building the sirfsorc-uart driver as a loadable module,
which uses an incorrect MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, by changing the reference to the

The latest r1p5-revision of the ARM PL011 UART has 32-byte FIFOs,
while all earlier ones have 16-byte FIFOs. This patch suggests
a way to set the FIFO-size correctly & flexibly by using a member
function named get_fifosize, rather than using the fifosize member
variable. The function takes the UARTPeriphID, and returns the
correct FIFO size.

The serial core uses device_find_child() but does not drop the reference to
the retrieved child after using it. This patch add the missing put_device().
What I have done to test this issue.
I used a machine with an AMBA PL011 serial driver. I tested the patch on
next-20120408 because the last branch [next-20120415] does not boot on this
board.
For test purpose, I added some pr_info() messages to print the refcount
after device_find_child() (lines: 1937,2009), and after put_device()
(lines: 1947, 2021).
Boot the machine *without* put_device(). Then:
echo reboot > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
[ 87.058575] uart_suspend_port:1937 refcount 4
[ 87.058582] uart_suspend_port:1947 refcount 4

[ 252.499611] uart_resume_port:2009 refcount 9
[ 252.499616] uart_resume_port:2021 refcount 9
The refcount continuously increased.

The registers for the Samsung S3C serial port are currently defined in
the platform specific arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/regs-serial.h
file, which is not visible to multiplatform capable drivers.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to move the file into a more local
place as we should normally try to, because the same registers
may be used in one of four places:
* In the driver itself
* In platform-independent ARM code for early debug output
* In platform_data definitions
* In the Samsung platform power management code
I have also found no way to logically split out a platform_data
file, other than possibly move everything into
include/linux/platform_data, which also felt wrong. The only
part of this file that makes sense to keep specific to the s3c24xx
platform are the virtual and physical addresses defined here,
which are needed in no other location.

In DMA support, The received data is not pushed to tty until the DMA buffer
is filled. But some megabyte rate chips such as BT expect fast response and
data should be pushed immediately. In order to fix this issue, We suggest
the use of the timer for polling DMA buffer.
In our test, no data loss occurred at high-baudrate as compared with interrupt-
driven (We tested with 3Mbps).
We changes:
- We add timer for polling. If we set poll_timer to 10, every 10ms,
timer handler checks the residue in the dma buffer and transfer data
to the tty. Also, last_residue is updated for the next polling.
- poll_timeout is used to prevent the timer's system cost.
If poll_timeout is set to 3000 and no data is received in 3 seconds,
we inactivate poll timer and driver falls back to interrupt-driven.
When data is received again in FIFO and UART irq is occurred, we switch
back to DMA mode and start polling.
- We use consistent DMA mappings to avoid from the frequent cache operation
of the timer function for default.
- pl011_dma_rx_chars is modified. the pending size is recalculated because
data can be taken by polling.
- the polling time is adjusted if dma rx poll is enabled but no rate is
specified. Ideal polling interval to push 1 character at every interval
is the reciprocal of 'baud rate / 10 line bits per character / 1000 ms
per sec'. But It is very aggressive to system. Experimentally,
'10000000 / baud' is suitable to receive dozens of characters. the poll rate
can be specified statically by dma_rx_poll_rate of the platform data as well.
Changes compared to v1:
- Use of consistent DMA mappings.
- Added dma_rx_poll_rate in platform data to specify the polling interval.
- Added dma_rx_poll_timeout in platform data to specify the polling timeout.
Changes compared to v2:
- Use of consistent DMA mappings for default.
- Added dma_rx_poll_enable in platform data to adjust the polling time
according to the baud rate.
- remove unnecessary lock from the polling function.

The no_console_suspend option allows the console to write to the UART
during early resume, before the serial port itself is resumed. Such
writes hang indefinitely waiting for TX ready.
This adds a check to the console putchar function to drop characters
instead of hanging if the port hasn't been initialized. That way, we
can use no_console_suspend without risk of hanging.

Since the interrupt mask register is not preserved across system suspend
and it defaults to all interrupts enabled, it is not enough to disable
UART interrupt.
This patch adds free_irq to port shutdown and mask setting to port
startup to handle IRQ disabling in a suspend-friendly way. In addition,
a bug caused by multiple request_irq calls in port startup callback is
fixed.

The big thing here is the fix for the huge mess we caused renaming the

Consider a situation where I have an ARM based system
and therefore no legacy ports. Say, I have two
memory-mapped ports. I use device tree to describe the
ports. What would be the config options I set so that
I get only the two ports in my system? I do not want
legacy ports being created automatically and I want
it to be flexible enough that it creates the devices
based only on the device tree. I expected setting
SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS = 0 to work because the
description said, "Set this to the maximum number of
serial ports you want the kernel to register at boot
time." Unfortunately, even though SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS
was set to the default value of 4, I did not get any device
nodes (because SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS was 0). This
is what this change is addressing.
SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS controls the maximum number of ports
you can support. SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS specifies the
number of ports you want to create automatically for legacy
ports at boot time. All other ports will be created
when serial8250_register_port is called (and if does not exceed
the total number of supported ports as specified by
SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS).

The Boot ROM has an issue which will cause the driver to
lock up as pending irqs are not being cleared. With them
cleared it prevents that issue.
This patch is needed for the current (3.9-rc3) mainline kernel. I guess
it went unnoticed, because it was only tested with u-boot up until now.
And u-boot maybe handles this.

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.<xxxx> 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.

introduced a potential NULL dereference to some drivers. In
particular, when the device is used as a console, incoming bytes can
kill the box. This is caused by removed checks for TTY against NULL.
It happened because it was unclear to me why the checks were there. I
assumed them superfluous because the interrupts were unbound or
otherwise stopped. But this is not the case for consoles for these
drivers, as was pointed out by David Miller.
Now, this patch re-introduces the checks (at this point we check
port->state, not the tty proper, as we do not care about tty pointers
anymore). For both of the drivers, we place the check below the
handling of break signal so that sysrq can actually work. (One needs
to issue a break and then sysrq key within the following 5 seconds.)
We do not change sc26xx, sunhv, and sunsu here because they behave the
same as before. People having that hardware should fix the driver
eventually, however. They always could unconditionally dereference tty
in receive_chars, port->state in uart_handle_dcd_change, and
up->port.state->port.tty.
There is perhaps more to fix in all those drivers, but they are at
least in a state they were before.
