[PATCH v2 14/15] serial: 8250: allow UART drivers to override rx_trig_bytes handling
From: Crescent Hsieh
Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 23:49:22 EST
The rx_trig_bytes sysfs attribute currently relies on 8250-internal
helper functions and assumes a fixed mapping between trigger levels and
FIFO behavior.
Some UARTs provide hardware-specific RX trigger mechanisms that do not
fit this model. Add optional uart_port callbacks for setting and getting
the RX trigger level, and use them when provided, while preserving the
existing 8250 helpers as the default fallback.
