[PATCH v2 1/7] serial: Do not hold the port lock when setting rx-during-tx GPIO

[Lino Sanfilippo]

Both the imx and stm32 driver set the rx-during-tx GPIO in the
rs485_config() function by means of gpiod_set_value(). Since rs485_config()
is called with the port lock held, this can be an problem in case that
setting the GPIO line can sleep (e.g. if a GPIO expander is used which is
connected via SPI or I2C).

Avoid this issue by setting the GPIO outside of the port lock in the serial
core and by using gpiod_set_value_cansleep() instead of gpiod_set_value().

Since now both the term and the rx-during-tx GPIO are set within the serial
core use a common function uart_set_rs485_gpios() to set both.

With moving it into the serial core setting the rx-during-tx GPIO is now
automatically done for all drivers that support such a GPIO.

[PATCH v2 2/7] serial: amba-pl011: get rid of useless wrapper pl011_get_rs485_mode()

[Lino Sanfilippo]

Due to earlier code changes function pl011_get_rs485_mode() is now merely
a wrapper for uart_get_rs485_mode() which does not add any further
functionality. So remove it and instead call uart_get_rs485_mode()
directly.

[PATCH v2 3/7] serial: core: set missing supported flag for RX during TX GPIO

[Lino Sanfilippo]

If the RS485 feature RX-during-TX is supported by means of a GPIO set the
according supported flag. Otherwise setting this feature from userspace may
not be possible, since in uart_sanitize_serial_rs485() the passed RS485
configuration is matched against the supported features and unsupported
settings are thereby removed and thus take no effect.

[PATCH v2 4/7] serial: core: fix sanitizing check for RTS settings

[Lino Sanfilippo]

Among other things uart_sanitize_serial_rs485() tests the sanity of the RTS
settings in a RS485 configuration that has been passed by userspace.
If RTS-on-send and RTS-after-send are both set or unset the configuration
is adjusted and RTS-after-send is disabled and RTS-on-send enabled.

This however makes only sense if both RTS modes are actually supported by
the driver.

With commit be2e2cb1d281 ("serial: Sanitize rs485_struct") the code does
take the driver support into account but only checks if one of both RTS
modes are supported. This may lead to the errorneous result of RTS-on-send
being set even if only RTS-after-send is supported.

Fix this by changing the implemented logic: First clear all unsupported
flags in the RS485 configuration, then adjust an invalid RTS setting by
taking into account which RTS mode is supported.

[PATCH v2 5/7] serial: core: make sure RS485 cannot be enabled when it is not supported

[Lino Sanfilippo]

Some uart drivers specify a rs485_config() function and then decide later
to disable RS485 support for some reason (e.g. imx and ar933).

In these cases userspace may be able to activate RS485 via TIOCSRS485
nevertheless, since in uart_set_rs485_config() an existing rs485_config()
function indicates that RS485 is supported.

Make sure that this is not longer possible by checking the uarts
rs485_supported.flags instead and bailing out if SER_RS485_ENABLED is not
set.

Furthermore instead of returning an empty structure return -ENOTTY if the
RS485 configuration is requested via TIOCGRS485 but RS485 is not supported.
This has a small impact on userspace visibility but it is consistent with
the -ENOTTY error for TIOCGRS485.

[PATCH v2 6/7] serial: core, imx: do not set RS485 enabled if it is not supported

[Lino Sanfilippo]

If the imx driver cannot support RS485 it sets the ports rs485_supported
structure to NULL. But it still calls uart_get_rs485_mode() which may set
the RS485_ENABLED flag nevertheless.

This may lead to an attempt to configure RS485 even if it is not supported
when the flag is evaluated in uart_configure_port() at port startup.

Avoid this by bailing out of uart_get_rs485_mode() if the RS485_ENABLED
flag is not supported by the caller.

With this fix a check for RTS availability is now obsolete in the imx
driver, since it can not evaluate to true any more. Remove this check, too.

[PATCH v2 7/7] serial: omap: do not override settings for RS485 support

[Lino Sanfilippo]

In serial_omap_rs485() RS485 support may be deactivated due to a missing
RTS GPIO. This is done by nullifying the ports rs485_supported struct.
After that however the serial_omap_rs485_supported struct is assigned to
the same structure unconditionally, which results in an unintended
reactivation of RS485 support.
Fix this by callling serial_omap_rs485() after the assignment of
rs485_supported.

Why is patch 2/7 not cc: stable, when patches 3-7 are?  Either this
patch isn't needed in this series, and can go later (or to a different
branch), or it also needs to be marked for stable as the later patches
depend on it?

2/7 is really only a cleanup patch that does not provide a bugfix.
Should I remove it from this series?
