[PATCHv2 0/4] Add TX FIFO Threshold for Altera 16550-FIFOxx

[PATCHv2 0/4] Add TX FIFO Threshold for Altera 16550-FIFOxx

[tthayer-yzvPICuk2ABMcg4IHK0kFoH6Mc4MB0Vx]

From: Thor Thayer <tthayer-yzvPICuk2ABMcg4IHK0kFoH6Mc4MB0Vx@public.gmane.org>

Some variants of the 16550 have a programmable TX FIFO threshold that
will trigger an IRQ when the FIFO drops below the threshold. The Altera
16550 compatible soft IP supports programmable TX FIFO thresholds.

This patch series adds the tx-threshold parameter to the device tree.
The tx_loadsz variable is amount of data that can be loaded into the
FIFO on an IRQ and is updated based on the tx-threshold value.

This patch series also adds support for the TX FIFO threshold registers
in the Altera 16550-FIFOxx soft IP.

[PATCHv2 3/4] serial: 8250: Set Altera 16550 TX FIFO Threshold

[tthayer]

From: Thor Thayer <tthayer@opensource.altera.com>

The Altera 16550 soft IP UART requires 2 additional registers for
TX FIFO threshold support. These 2 registers enable the TX FIFO
Low Watermark and set the TX FIFO Low Watermark.
Set the TX FIFO threshold to the FIFO size - tx_loadsz.
