tty: serial: Add 8250-core based omap driver
This patch provides a 8250-core based UART driver for the internal OMAP
UART. The long term goal is to provide the same functionality as the
current OMAP uart driver and DMA support.
I tried to merge omap-serial code together with the 8250-core code.
There should should be hardly a noticable difference. The trigger levels
are different compared to omap-serial:
- omap serial
TX: Interrupt comes after TX FIFO has room for 16 bytes.
TX of 4096 bytes in one go results in 256 interrupts
RX: Interrupt comes after there is on byte in the FIFO.
RX of 4096 bytes results in 4096 interrupts.
- this driver
TX: Interrupt comes once the TX FIFO is empty.
TX of 4096 bytes results in 65 interrupts. That means there will
be gaps on the line while the driver reloads the FIFO.
RX: Interrupt comes once there are 48 bytes in the FIFO or less over
"longer" time frame. We have
1 / 11520 * 10^3 * 16 => 1.38… ms
1.38ms to react and purge the FIFO on 115200,8N1. Since the other
driver fired after each byte it had ~5.47ms time to react. This
_may_ cause problems if one relies on no missing bytes and has no
flow control. On the other hand we get only 85 interrupts for the
same amount of data.
It has been only tested as console UART on am335x-evm, dra7-evm and
beagle bone. I also did some longer raw-transfers to meassure the load.
The device name is ttyS based instead of ttyO. If a ttyO based node name
is required please ask udev for it. If both driver are activated (this
and omap-serial) then this serial driver will take control over the
device due to the link order
v9…v10:
- Tony noticed that omap3 won't show anything after waking up
from core off. In v9 I reworked the register restore and set
IER to 0 by accident. This went unnoticed because start_tx
usually sets ier (either due to DMA bug or due to TX-complete
IRQ).
- dropped EFR and SLEEP from capabilities. We do have both but
nobody should touch it. We already handle SLEEP ourself.
- make the private copy of the registers (like EFR) u8 instead
u32
- drop MDR1 & DL[ML] reset in restore registers. Does not look
required it is set to the required value later.
- update MDR1 & SCR only if changed.
- set MDR1 as the last thing. The errata says that we should
setup everything before MDR1 set.
- avoid div by 0 in omap_8250_get_divisor() if baud rate gets
very large (Frans Klaver fixed the same thing omap-serial)
- drop "is in early stage" from Kconfig.
v8…v9:
- less on a file seems to hang the am335x after a while. I
believe I introduce this bug a while ago since I can reproduce
this prior to v8. Fixed by redoing the omap8250_restore_regs()
v7…v8:
- redo the register write. There is now one function for that
which is used from set_termios() and runtime-resume.
- drop PORT_OMAP_16750 and move the setup to the omap file. We
have our own set termios function anyway (Heikki Krogerus)
- use MEM instead of MEM32. TRM of AM/DM37x says that 32bit
access on THR might result in data abort. We only need 32bit
access in the errata function which is before we use 8250's
read function so it doesn't matter.
v4…v7:
- change trigger levels after some tests with raw transfers.
v3…v4:
- drop RS485 support
- wire up ->throttle / ->unthrottle
v2…v3:
- wire up startup & shutdown for wakeup-irq handling.
- RS485 handling (well the core does).
v1…v2:
- added runtime PM. Could somebody could please double check
this?
- added omap_8250_set_termios()
