[PATCH 0/4] serial: sc16is7xx: split into core and I2C/SPI parts

[Hugo Villeneuve]

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello,
this patch series splits the SPI/I2C parts for the sc16is7xx driver into
separate source files (and separate I2C/SPI drivers).

These changes are based on suggestions made by Andy Shevchenko
following this discussion:

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHp75VebCZckUrNraYQj9k=Mrn2kbYs1Lx26f5-8rKJ3RXeh-w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The patches are multiple, simply to facilitate the review process. In the end,
they could be merged into a single patch.

This patch series depends on the the following patch (in linux-next/stable):
    commit f7b487648986 ("lib/find: add atomic find_bit() primitives")

I have tested the changes on a custom board with two SC16IS752 DUART over
a SPI interface using a Variscite IMX8MN NANO SOM. The four UARTs are
configured in RS-485 mode.

I did not test the changes on a real SC16is7xx using the I2C interface. But
I slighly modified the driver to be able to simulate an I2C device using
i2c-stub. I was then able to instantiate a virtual I2C device without
disturbing existing connection/communication between real SPI devices on
/dev/ttySC0 and /dev/ttySC2 (using a loopback cable).

Thank you.
