Move RS485 implementation from drivers to serial core (v4 RESEND)
From: Lino Sanfilippo
Date: Sun Apr 10 2022 - 06:48:22 EST
This patch series is an attempt to simplify rs485 implementation in drivers
by moving the following tasks out of the drivers into the serial core:
- ensure sane RTS settings: in case of an invalid configuration (both RTS
after send and RTS on send set or both unset) enable RTS on send and
disable RTS after send
- nullify the padding field of the serial_rs485 struct before it is
returned to userspace
- copy the configuration stored in the serial_rs485 struct to the port
configuration if setting the configuration in the driver was successfull
- limit the RTS delay to 100ms
Redundant code has been removed from the following drivers for now:
- atmel
- fsl_lpuart
- amba
- imx
- max310x
- omap-serial
- sc16is7xx
- stm32-usart
The code has been tested with the amba pl011 driver. This series applies
against Gregs tty-testing branch.
Changes in v2:
- use a makro for max RTS delays and comment it (as requested by Jiri)
- add a comment concerning the memset of a structures padding field - correct
typos in the commit message (found by Uwe)
- rephrase all commit messages to make more clear that function
uart_set_rs485_config() has been extended by checks and other functionalities
(as requested by Uwe)
Changes in v3:
- add warning messages if the serial core corrects RS485 values (as requested by
Lukas Wunner)
- dont expose the macro for max RTS delays to userspace (as requested by Greg)
Changes in v4:
- use ratelimit warning messages and also print device, uart port name and line
(as requested by Jiri)
