[PATCH v2] serial: meson: add Magic SysRq support

From: Yixun Lan
Date: Wed Sep 06 2017 - 09:53:23 EST


This dirver try to implement the Magic SysRq support[1] for
Amlogic Inc's meson platfo
>From the hardware perspective, the UART IP can't detect the 'BREAK' command
clearly via the status register. Instead, we rely on the combination of
'FRAME_ERR bit && ch == 0', and it works fine.
