[PATCH] serial: mxs-auart: keep the AUART unit in reset state when not in use

[Juergen Borleis]

Whenever the UART device driver gets closed from userland, the driver
disables the UART unit and then stops the clocks to save power.

The bit which disabled the UART unit is described as:

?"UART Enable. If this bit is set to 1, the UART is enabled. Data
  transmission and reception occurs for the UART signals. When the
  UART is disabled in the middle of transmission or reception, it
  completes the current character before stopping."

The important part is the "it completes the current character". Whenever
a reception is ongoing when the UART gets disabled (including the clock
off) the statemachine freezes and "remembers" this state on the next
open() and re-enabling of the unit's clock.

In this case we end up receiving an additional bogus character
immediately.

The solution in this change is to move the AUART unit into its reset
state on close() and only release it from its reset state on the next
open().

i think the naming of this new function is too similiar to mxs_auart_reset() and
doesn't represent the exact behavior. How about mxs_auart_keep_reset() or
mxs_auart_gate()?

The delay in mxs_auart_reset() has a value of 3 microseconds. Why not the same
here?

Just a typo: already?

Hmm, maybe mxs_auart_reset() should be renamed instead, because it terminates 
the reset to this unit and make it work (called when the driver's probe 
function is running). But okay, mxs_auart_keep_reset() names more what it 
really does.

Hmm, good question. And why 3 us? :) I'm going to change it to 3 us as well.

Ups. Yes. Will fix.

Thanks!
