[PATCH] ARM: mach-moxart: platform port for MOXA ART SoC

[Jonas Jensen]

Hi,

I ask for feedback and to submit (if possible) a new ARM SoC platform
port. This is now near complete (I think) (tested on UC-7112-LX Plus)
and applies to 2.6.34.14.

The patch contains the following drivers and platform specific implementations:

* ARCH_MOXART (FA526 processor)
* 100Hz interrupt timer
* UART
* MTD map driver
* Ethernet driver (RTL8201CP)
* MMC driver
* MOXA Smartio/Industio family multiport serial driver
* RTC driver
* Watchdog driver
* GPIO driver

Predicted patch rejects below (in need of a solution, feedback is much
appreciated) because they are critical in areas of boot, MMC and TTY.

arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:
A valid (and unique) architecture ID is not loaded to r1. Looks like
the bootloader is broken, it should be doing this!
http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/sevy/linux/ARM_Linux_boot_sequence.html

arch/arm/tools/mach-types:
Omitted (do not edit manually / add a new machine using
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/?action=new). A fix to
this and above is not feasible as long as MOXA withholds bootloader
sources (requested without success).

drivers/char/mxser.c drivers/char/mxser.h: MOXA
SMARTIO/INDUSTIO/INTELLIO SERIAL CARD (JiÅÃ SlabÃ):
Force board setup for CONFIG_ARCH_MOXART.
ASYNCB_CLOSING is avoided because of a lockup (infinite wait after
tty_wait_until_sent). Why this happens is unknown (to me) I'm hoping
someone (JiÅÃ?) can shed light. SysRq trace @ http://ideone.com/e845mr
What significance does ASYNCB_CLOSING have?
Obviously, automatic detection is better but "mxser_read_register" is
pointless on this hardware. What to do instead? Is it better to make a
copy and submit a new driver?

drivers/mmc/core/sd.c:
The MMC controller is "special"? "UNSTUFF_BITS" is redefined here
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6.19-moxart.git/blob/50cdf2c57662f9f69c5615976412f76bfd73311a:/drivers/mmc/mmc.c
. Without the new macro it'll report the wrong geometry and prod_name.
I'm thinking a driver should never have to redefine UNSTUFF_BITS.
Possible workaround: modify bits (in driver) to line up as expected
before returning the response (mmc_request_done).
