Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:14:52 -0800 Message-ID: <492C94FC.9070906@caviumnetworks.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Received: from mail3.caviumnetworks.com ([12.108.191.235]:19415 "EHLO mail3.caviumnetworks.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752401AbYKZAPE (ORCPT ); Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:15:04 -0500 Sender: linux-serial-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org To: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org, Alan Cox , Andrew Morton Cc: linux-mips Previously I have posted these five patches as part of the larger CPU support patch set. I am separating them out now as I have incorporated changes as suggested by Alan Cox, and these are ready for review now. Changes from previous version: * I/O functions now called serial_{in,out}. * UART_BUG_OCTEON_IIR workaround moved to OCTEON serial_in function and out of this patch set. Since these are the only non-mips specific patches required for OCTEON cpu support, it is necessary to get these Signed-off-by before the full OCTEON patch set can proceed. Also since serial is lacking active maintainers, I am sending directly to akpm and Alan in hopes that one or more of them will review the patches. Five patches to follow. David Daney (5): 8250: Don't clobber spinlocks. 8250: Serial driver changes to support future Cavium OCTEON serial patches. Serial: Allow port type to be specified when calling serial8250_register_port. 8250: Allow port type to specify bugs that are not probed for. Serial: UART driver changes for Cavium OCTEON. drivers/serial/8250.c | 230 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- drivers/serial/8250.h | 2 + drivers/serial/serial_core.c | 7 +- include/linux/serial_8250.h | 3 + include/linux/serial_core.h | 7 +- 5 files changed, 185 insertions(+), 64 deletions(-)
