57d4810ea0 revert "x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices"
Revert 7e92b4fc34.  It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)

  This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
  breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."

  It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO.  Serial ports are something
  that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game.  My new Intel
  platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
  messing with serial port probing even more...  because...  just wait a year,
  and your box won't have a serial port either!  :)

  I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
  but the probe change seems questionable.  That's sorta analagous to
  rewriting the floppy driver probe routine.  Sure you could do it...  but why
  risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?

  It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
  something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.

Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.

8b4a40809e zs: move to the serial subsystem
This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem.  Any
resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential.  ;-) I do hope I got
the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the
issue unless you feel too good...

Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines
have now been swapped, i.e.  ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3.  It has
to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given
chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter
as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem
lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see
the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used).
Please update your scripts.

This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in
"/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the
line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from
both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too).
The old driver never got it right...

b45d527974 sb1250-duart.c: SB1250 DUART serial support
This is a driver for the SB1250 DUART, a dual serial port implementation
included in the Broadcom family of SOCs descending from the SiByte SB1250
MIPS64 chip multiprocessor.  It is a new implementation replacing the
old-fashioned driver currently present in the linux-mips.org tree.  It
supports all the usual features one would expect from a(n asynchronous)
serial driver, including modem line control (as far as hardware supports it
-- there is edge detection logic missing from the DCD and RI lines and the
driver does not implement polling of these lines at the moment), the serial
console, BREAK transmission and reception, including the magic SysRq.  The
receive FIFO threshold is not maintained though.

The driver was tested with a SWARM board which uses a BCM1250 SOC (which is
dual MIPS64 CMP) and has both ports of the single DUART implemented wired
externally.  Both were tested.  Testing included using the ports as
terminal lines at 1200bps (which is the ports minimum), 115200bps and a
couple of random speeds inbetween.  The modem lines were verified to
operate correctly.  No testing was performed with a use as a network
interface, like with SLIP or PPP.

18a8bd949d serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

7e92b4fc34 x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices
Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,

    serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
    00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
drivers and administration.

In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
stuff back in.  On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
option does this.

To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
the "legacy_serial.force" option.

8d38a5b2fa [POWERPC] Open Firmware serial port driver
This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an
OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy
serial support.
It will automatically take over devices that come from the
legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device.

In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port
in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing
the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property
must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the
legacy serial driver to check for this.

and thus needs to select FW_LOADER.

83485f826b [PATCH] serial: serial_txx9 driver update
Update the serial_txx9 driver.

 * More strict check in verify_port.  Cleanup.
 * Do not insert a char caused previous overrun.
 * Fix some spin_locks.
 * Do not call uart_add_one_port for absent ports.

Also, this patch removes a BROKEN tag from Kconfig.  This driver has been
marked as BROKEN by removal of uart_register_port, but it has been solved
already on Sep 2005.

02fd473bd4 [SPARC64]: Add SUN4V Hypervisor Console driver.
Since it can do things like BREAK and HUP, we implement
this as a serial uart driver.

This still needs interrupt probing code, as I haven't figured
out how interrupts will work or be probed for on SUN4V yet.

In kernel bugzilla #5176 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5176)
Harry R\374ter <h.rueter@gmx.de> points out Documentation/jsm.txt is missing.

No one at Digi seems to care, so just remove the stale reference.

2d0cfb5279 [PATCH] Altix: ioc3 serial support
Add driver support for a 2 port PCI IOC3-based serial card on Altix boxes:

This is a re-submission.  On the original submission I was asked to
organize the code so that the MIPS ioc3 ethernet and serial parts could be
used with this driver.  Stanislaw Skowronek was kind enough to provide the
shim layer for this - thanks Stanislaw.  This patch includes the shim layer
and the Altix PCI ioc3 serial driver.  The MIPS merged ioc3 ethernet and
serial support is forthcoming.

Looks like JSM will be uncompilable after the TTY layer rework is merged into
Linus's post-2.6.15 tree.

It was complex to fix - the maintainers were notified in September.
