Subject: [PATCH 3/3] serial: 8250_dw: Add Allwinner A733 UART
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 14:25:38 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005172538.398522-4-vinicius.eduardo.pedrosa@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261005172538.398522-1-vinicius.eduardo.pedrosa@gmail.com>
The A733 UART is clocked from its bus clock gate, which can't change
rate. dw8250_set_termios() still gates it around a no-op clk_set_rate()
on every termios change. That stalls the character being shifted out
and corrupts it on the wire. Use the existing SKIP_SET_RATE quirk, as
other SoCs with a fixed UART clock do.
Offset 0xc0 is the RS485 control register on this SoC (A733 User
Manual, UART_485_CTL), not DLF. dw8250_setup_port() writes all ones
there, reads back a nonzero 9-bit value and takes it for a 9-bit DLF.
Every later divisor change then writes the fractional divisor into the
RS485 control register. Add a NO_DLF quirk so dwlib skips that probe.
