serial: core: Rework hw-assisted flow control support
hw-assisted flow control support was added to the serial core in v3.8 with commits, dba05832 ("SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted h/w flow control support") 2cbacafd ("SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted s/w flow control support") 9aba8d5b ("SERIAL: core: add throttle/unthrottle callbacks for hardware assisted flow control") Since then, additional requirements for serial core support have arisen. Specifically, 1. Separate tx and rx flow control settings for UARTs which only support tx flow control (ie., autoCTS). 2. Disable sw-assisted CTS flow control in autoCTS mode 3. Support for RTS flow control by serial core and userspace in autoRTS mode Distinguish mode from capability; introduce UPSTAT_AUTORTS, UPSTAT_AUTOCTS and UPSTAT_AUTOXOFF which, when set by the uart driver, enable serial core support for hw-assisted rx, hw-assisted tx and hw-assisted in-band/IXOFF rx flow control, respectively. [Note: hw-assisted in-band/IXON tx flow control does not require serial core support/intervention and can be enabled by the uart driver when required.] These modes must be set/reset in the driver's set_termios() method, based on termios settings, and thus can be safely queried in any context in which one of the port lock, port mutex or termios rwsem are held. Set these modes in the 2 in-tree drivers, omap-serial and 8250_omap, which currently use UPF_HARD_FLOW/UPF_SOFT_FLOW support. Retain UPF_HARD_FLOW and UPF_SOFT_FLOW as capabilities; re-define UPF_HARD_FLOW as both UPF_AUTO_RTS and UPF_AUTO_CTS to allow for distinct and separate rx and tx flow control capabilities. Disable sw-assisted CTS flow control when UPSTAT_AUTOCTS is enabled. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
