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. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Josh Boyer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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/serial: Add support for Altera serial port

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

Add support for Altera 8250/16550 compatible serial port. Signed-off-by: Ley Foon Tan Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: ralink: adds support for the serial core found on ralink wisoc

2013-01-30T05:15:34+00:00

The MIPS based Ralink WiSoC platform has 1 or more 8250 compatible serial cores. To make them work we require the same quirks that are used by AU1x00. Signed-off-by: John Crispin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge 3.8-rc5 into tty-next

8250/16?50: Add support for Broadcom TruManage redirected serial port

2013-01-17T22:02:55+00:00

Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable NetXtreme chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725). This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte interrupt mode results in too many interrupts. The UART_CAP_HFIFO capability was added to track this. It continues to reload the THR as long as the THRE and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024 is used here).

serial: 8250: Add support for dmaengine

2013-01-16T07:03:00+00:00

Add support for dmaengine API. The drivers can implement the struct uart_8250_dma member in struct uart_8250_port and 8250.c can take care of the rest. Signed-off-by: Heikki Krogerus Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: 8250: Allow drivers to deliver capabilities

2013-01-16T07:02:59+00:00

Modern UARTs are able to provide information about their capabilities such as FIFO size. This allows the drivers to deliver this information to 8250.c when they are registering ports. Signed-off-by: Heikki Krogerus Reviewed-by: Jamie Iles Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: switch tty_flip_buffer_push

2013-01-16T06:30:15+00:00

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get in those paths. Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed: tty_flip_buffer_push. IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get at all yet. Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it anyway.

serial: Remove RM9000 series serial driver.

2013-01-16T05:54:41+00:00

Now that support for RM9000 and platforms based on it has been removed, remove the serial driver for it as well. It's really only been a quirk for an almost 8250 compatible UART anyway.
