where do 8250 serial port initialize its mapbase and membase when booting?

where do 8250 serial port initialize its mapbase and membase when booting?

linux 2.6.21.7

where do serial 8250 port fill its membase and mapbase  fileds  in
system initializing ?



I found that , when calling do_initcalls--->  serial8250_init ---->
platform_driver_register--->bus_for_each_dev,  system found

an device of serial 8250, which has already fill the membase and mapbase fileds.

That is to say,  before serial8250_init ---->
platform_driver_register, system has create a serial device with
membase and mapbase initialized.

 do_initcalls--->  serial8250_init ----> platform_driver_register--->
dev = bus_for_each_dev


             --->  struct plat_serial8250_port *p = dev->platform_data;

                    /*  at this point , p->membase and p->mapbase are
all assigned with proper value by system */




I searched the whole source code with keyword 'membase' , and found
the following code :


serial8250_request_std_resource:

case UPIO_MEM:
	if (!up->port.mapbase)
		break;

	if (!request_mem_region(up->port.mapbase, size, "serial")) {
		ret = -EBUSY;
		break;
	}
  /*I guess membase is generated according to mapbase ,*
    so I add some debug print  here.
    However, I found membase and mapbase are already initialized
before these codes. */


                if (up->port.flags & UPF_IOREMAP) {
	                 up->port.membase = ioremap(up->port.mapbase, size);
	                 if (!up->port.membase) {
		          release_mem_region(up->port.mapbase, size);
		          ret = -ENOMEM;
	                 }
                 }


So I am really confused with serial 8250
initializing----------------where do kernel apply membase and mapbase
filed to  8250 port?

Thx

Probably serial_dev_init() in legacy_serial.c

cheers
