[PATCH 1/4] serial: core: Consistent LF handling for poll_put_char

From: Daniel Thompson
Date: Wed May 14 2014 - 10:56:07 EST


The behaviour of the UART poll_put_char infrastructure is inconsistent
with respect to linefeed conversions. This in turn leads to difficulty
using kdb on serial ports that are not also consoles
(e.g. console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA1,115200).

The following drivers automatically convert '\n' to '\r\n' inside their
own poll functions but the remaining seventeen do not:

serial8250, cpm, pch_uart, serial_pxa, serial_txx9,

This can be made fully consistent but performing the conversion in
uart_poll_put_char(). A similar conversion is already made inside
uart_console_write() but it is optional for drivers to use this
function. Fortunately we can be confident the translation is safe
because the (very common) 8250 already does this translation.
