[PATCH 0/3] MIPS: dts: loongson64g-package: Switch to Loongson UART driver

[Rong Zhang]

Loongson64g is Loongson 3A4000, whose UART controller is compatible with
Loongson 2K1500, which is NS16550A-compatible with an additional
fractional frequency divisor register.

Patch 1 adds loongson,ls3a4000-uart as compatible with
loongson,ls2k1500-uart.

Patch 2 enables building 8250_loongson (loongson-uart) on MIPS
Loongson64.

Patch 3 updates the compatible strings to reflect this, so that 3A4000
can benefit from the fractional frequency divisor provided by
loongson-uart. This is required on some devices, otherwise their UART
can't work at some high baud rates, e.g., 115200.

Tested on Loongson-LS3A4000-7A1000-NUC-SE with a 25MHz UART clock.
Without fractional frequency divisor, the actual baud rate was 111607
(25MHz / 16 / 14, measured value: 111545) and some USB-to-UART
converters couldn't work with it at all. With fractional frequency
divisor, the measured baud rate becomes 115207, which is quite accurate.

[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: serial: 8250: Add Loongson 3A4000 uart compatible

[Rong Zhang]

The UART controller on Loongson 3A4000 is compatible with Loongson
2K1500, which is NS16550A-compatible with an additional fractional
frequency divisor register.

Add loongson,ls3a4000-uart as compatible with loongson,ls2k1500-uart.

[PATCH 2/3] serial: 8250: loongson: Enable building on MIPS Loongson64

[Rong Zhang]

Loongson 3A4000 is a MIPS-based Loongson64 CPU which also supports
8250_loongson (loongson-uart).

Enable building on MIPS Loongson64 so that Loongson 3A4000 can benefit
from it.

Loongson64g is Loongson 3A4000, whose UART controller is compatible with

benefit from the fractional frequency divisor provided by loongson-uart.
This is required on some devices, otherwise their UART can't work at
some high baud rates, e.g., 115200.

DTS should be sent separately, don't mix independent patches targetting
serial tree.
