[PATCH v5 1/1] serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to enable runtime PM

Tony Lindgren
2023-01-16T08:01:28Z

We want to enable runtime PM for serial port device drivers in a generic
way. To do this, we want to have the serial core layer manage the
registered physical serial controller devices.

To do this, let's set up a struct device for the serial core controller
as suggested by Greg and Jiri. The serial core controller devices are
children of the physical serial port device. The serial core controller
device is needed to support multiple different kind of ports connected
to single physical serial port device.

Let's also set up a struct device for the serial core port. The serial
core port instances are children of the serial core controller device.

With the serial core port device we can now flush pending TX on the
runtime PM resume as suggested by Johan.

Suggested-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Suggested-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@kernel.org>
Suggested-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

Changes since v4:

- Fix issue noted by Ilpo by calling serial_core_add_one_port() after
the devices are created

Changes since v3:

- Simplify things by adding a serial core control device as the child of
the physical serial port as suggested by Jiri

- Drop the tinkering of the physical serial port device for runtime PM.
Serial core just needs to manage port->port_dev with the addition of
the serial core control device and the device hierarchy will keep the
pysical serial port device enabled as needed

- Simplify patch description with all the runtime PM tinkering gone

- Coding style improvments as noted by Andy

- Post as a single RFC patch as we're close to the merge window

Changes since v2:

- Make each serial port a proper device as suggested by Greg. This is
a separate patch that flushes the TX on runtime PM resume

Changes since v1:

- Use kref as suggested by Andy

- Fix memory leak on error as noted by Andy

- Use use unsigned char for supports_autosuspend as suggested by Andy

- Coding style improvments as suggested by Andy
