[PATCH v4 0/4] Add support for StarFive JHB100 UART Routing

From: Changhuang Liang

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 06:42:14 EST


Currently, since Aspeed also has a similar driver, there is some code
with identical structures on both sides, but a common framework is
lacking. Therefore, this series introduces a generic UART routing
framework. It also moves aspeed-uart-routing.c under this generic
framework and makes it use the interfaces provided by the generic
framework. At the same time, StarFive also registers its own driver
based on this generic framework.

StarFive JHB100 UART Routing allows dynamic routing of inputs between
built-in UARTs and physical serial I/O ports, enabling use cases such
as Host <-> BMC communication via UARTs.

This series has been tested on the EVB1 board.

changes since v3:

PATCH 1:
- Use dev_get/set_drvdata() to obtain struct uart_routing * to avoid
null-ptr-deref issues.
- Update uart-routing.rst: since dev_set_drvdata() is now used by the
framework, remind the SoC driver side not to use dev_set_drvdata().

PATCH 3:
- Add Rob's "Reviewed-by" tag.
