[PATCH 8/8] 8250: add Texas Instruments AR7 internal UART

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi Alan,

We discussed that in private, there are a couple of things
to fix in order to get 8250 working properly with TI AR7 HW.
If you can still merge that bit, this would ease future work, thanks !

I still have a tree here, which works without any changes to the 8250
serial driver on a TNETD7300 device.

That specific patch just adds an AR7 port to the 8250 uart driver. My 
TNETD7300 really needs patching in the 8250 driver to work properly, Alan 
already suggested to perform some testing. I still think there is a HW bug 
with different silicon revisions.

Got to test with defining the UART type as a PORT_16550 and use UPIO_MEM32 
instead of UPIO_MEM.

Could you show me how you register the 8250 driver ? Without the 8250-specific 
patch, here is the kind of output that I get:

static struct plat_serial8250_port uart0_data = {
        .mapbase = AR7_REGS_UART0,
        .irq = AR7_IRQ_UART0,
        .regshift = 2,
        .iotype = UPIO_MEM,
        .flags = UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF | UPF_IOREMAP,
};

        uart_port[0].type = PORT_16550A;
        uart_port[0].line = 0;
        uart_port[0].irq = AR7_IRQ_UART0;
        uart_port[0].uartclk = ar7_bus_freq() / 2;
        uart_port[0].iotype = UPIO_MEM;
        uart_port[0].mapbase = AR7_REGS_UART0 + 3;
        uart_port[0].membase = ioremap(uart_port[0].mapbase, 256);
        uart_port[0].regshift = 2;
        res = early_serial_setup(&uart_port[0]);
        if (res)
                return res;


the +3 comes from the fact, that this machine is configured to run big
endian.

Here is the boot log:

Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x8610e03 (irq = 15) is a 16550A
console handover: boot [early0] -> real [ttyS0]
serial8250: ttyS1 at MMIO 0x8610f00 (irq = 19) is a 16550A
loop: module loaded
Fixed MDIO Bus: probed


ttyS1 uses the wrong address, but there is nothing connected to
that port on the box.

Do you see the problem on TNETD7200 devices as well ?

Alternatively you could not use the byte ordering macro/functions as per 
the 'Byte Order' section in:

http://lwn.net/images/pdf/LDD3/ch11.pdf

Makes the code portable, understandable and...well neater.

Maybe not, scrap that :)

I no longer have TNETD7200 devices to test on unfortunately.

What I just found is that TNETD7300GDU revision 5 does not have this bug, 
while TNETD7300GDU revision 4 has. This seems to confirm the HW bug 
hypothesis. Let's just clean the serial console registration and we will keep 
in OpenWrt the 8250 workaround for older TNETD7300 revisions.
