[PATCH v4 0/2] Airoha UART support

[PATCH v4 0/2] Airoha UART support

[Benjamin Larsson]

The Airoha familty of SoCs have a UART hardware that is 16550-compatible
with the exception of the baud rate settings.

This patch implements code for calculating the baud rate for the Airoha
UART and HSUART.

---
Changes in v4:
- Removed COMPILE_TEST from Kconfig
- Removed Kconfig option to build as module

Changes in v3:
- Reworded commit message
- Restructured comment text
- Fixed kernel-doc warning
- Fixed kernel test robot build error and build warning

Changes in v2:
- Removed ifdef use in .c files
- Removed uart port defines from user-space headers
- Reworded commit message
- Added code documentation

Because it is just an extension of an existing module.

We are trying hard to get rid of custom quirks in 8250_pci.c. That's
how a few 8250_*.c appeared during the past several years. Please,
follow the same approach.

Please, make a new real module instead.

It's a runtime dependency and not a compile time, right? So, there is
no impediment to compile test on the configurations that have
CONFIG_OF=n.

No, please don't do that.

No do that, you want your code as a module so that it can work in a
system that is built as a "generic system image" that does not force
your driver to be built into the main kernel image, wasting memory if
the hardware is not present.

I would argue that I follow the current flow of the code. In 8250.h we have:

CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_FINTEK

none of those enables COMPILE_TEST or the option to compile as a module.

Neither the Airoha code or the other code is not intended to be its own 
separate module, it is to be part of the 8250-driver. The 8250-driver 
can be loaded as a module with or without the Airoha baud rate code.

Implementing COMPILE_TEST when the 8250-driver does not support it seems 
tricky. All the ways I could think of would result in messy code and 
logic. I came to the conclusion that a smaller patch that reuses the 
current logic was preferable. If that argument is not good enough then I 
need some guidance how to implement something what would be accepted.

These are historically parts of the main driver, RSA code theoretically
can be removed.

> CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_FINTEK

I would love to see this being not part of main driver.

They all together may be compiled as a main driver module.
Again, this is all historical and new code would need a very good justification
why it can be held in a separate module.

Why not?

Hmm, ok I'll see if I understand you. I should create 8250_airoha.c by 
using 8250_fsl.c as a template. Adapt probe for Airoha by replacing 
.set_termios with a wrapper that calls the custom baud rate calculation 
code?

Well I mean that was my intent.

Not sure that _fsl is the best example (we have so far: 8250_exar,
8250_lpss, 8250_mid, ...), but overall yes, that's my expectation.
