[PATCH v1 0/6] serial: port: Fix UPIO_PORT iotype handling

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Fri Jan 24 2025 - 11:15:57 EST


It appears that the conversion to use uart_read_and_validate_port_properties()
broke 8250_of driver for the cases when UPIO_PORT is required.

Looking at the code there is an opportunity to clean up it a bit as well,
hence this mini-series.

Patches 1 and 2 (and 1 is most important) are the fixes to the helper function
followed by patch 3 that makes code robust against possible future changes in
the same area.

The top three patches are post-fix cleanups.

This is done in a series, but can be split to fix-series + cleanup-series for
the routing to the current and next Linux kernel releases. It's also possible
to route all of them as fixes as they are toughly linked to each other and have
not much code changes overall.

Andy Shevchenko (6):
serial: port: Assign ->iotype correctly when ->iobase is set
serial: port: Always update ->iotype in __uart_read_properties()
serial: port: Make ->iotype validation global in
__uart_read_properties()
serial: 8250_of: Remove unneeded ->iotype assignment
serial: 8250_platform: Remove unneeded ->iotype assignment
serial: 8250_pnp: Remove unneeded ->iotype assignment
