[PATCH v3 1/2] serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to enable runtime PM

2022-11-23T08:28:59Z

We want to enable runtime PM for serial port device drivers in a generic
way. To do this, we want to have the serial core layer manage the
registered physical serial controller devices.

The serial layer has a few challenges to deal with:

1. The serial port mapping to a physical serial port controller device
is currently not easily available after the physical serial controller
struct device gets registered uart_add_one_port() time

2. The serial port device drivers have their own driver data. So we cannot
currently start making use of serial core generic data easily without
changing all the serial port device drivers

To find the serial ports for a controller based on struct device, let's
add a new data structure for a serial_controller. On registering a port,
we can use the drv->state array to find the associated serial port
controller and initialize the serial core controller.

As some serial port device drivers enable runtime PM in their probe before
registering with the serial core layer, and some do not enable runtime PM
at all currently, we need check the state in the serial core layer on
uart_port_startup(). We need to also consider that a serial port device
may have multiple ports.

Initially we enable runtime PM for all the serial port controller devices.
This allows us to add runtime PM calls and properly handle any errors
without a need for serial layer specific runtime PM wrapper functions.

After this patch no functional changes for the serial port device drivers
are intended. We just enable runtime PM and keep the runtime PM usage
count until all the serial controller ports are unregistered. For drivers
implementing PM runtime, we just keep track of the runtime PM
configuration.

For the serial port drivers, the serial core layer has the following use
cases to deal with:

1. If a serial port device driver does not implement runtime PM, the
device state is set to active state, and the runtime PM usage count
is kept until the last port for a device is unregistered

2. If a serial port device driver implements runtime PM, the runtime PM
usage count is kept until the last port for the device is unregistered

3. If a serial port device driver implements runtime PM autosuspend,
autosuspend is not prevented. This currently gets set only for the
8250_omap driver to keep runtime PM working for it

For system suspend, things should be mostly detached from the runtime PM.
The serial port device drivers may call pm_runtime_force_suspend() and
pm_runtime_force_resume() as needed.

Changes since v2:

- Make each serial port a proper device as suggested by Greg. This is
a separate patch that flushes the TX on runtime PM resume

Changes since v1:

- Use kref as suggested by Andy

- Fix memory leak on error as noted by Andy

- Use use unsigned char for supports_autosuspend as suggested by Andy

- Coding style improvments as suggested by Andy
