[PATCH v2 2/2] drivers/serial: Add driver for Aspeed virtual UART

From: Joel Stanley
Date: Wed Apr 05 2017 - 00:05:31 EST


From: Jeremy Kerr <jk@xxxxxxxxxx>

This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART
device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device
probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too.

The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual
serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller)
and one is on the host CPU side.

This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC
userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at
what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host
on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system
(though most of them use 3f8/4).

OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the
VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard
mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind
to the device, and clear it on unbind.

We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this
bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether
the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

v2:
- Use attribute groups and DEVICE_ATTR_RW
- Use platform_get_resource/devm_ioremap_resource
- of_find_property -> of_property_read_bool
- Drop unncessary 0xff mask
- Fix comment style
- Use BIT and GENMASK where pssible
- Move to 8250 directory
- Rename ast -> aspeed to match other Aspeed drivers
- Add documentation of sysfs file
- Add detail to the commit message
- add Rob's ack for the binding change
