serial: 8250: Add Loongson uart driver support

2025-11-26T12:15:17Z

Add the driver for on-chip UART used on Loongson family chips. The hardware is similar to NS16550A, but there are the following differences: - Some chips (such as Loongson-2K2000) have added a fractional division register to obtain the required baud rate accurately, so the {get,set}_divisor callback is overridden. - Due to hardware defects, quirk handling is required for UART_MCR/UART_MSR.

serial: 8250: add driver for KEBA UART

2025-11-26T12:13:37Z

The KEBA UART is found in the system FPGA of KEBA PLC devices. It is mostly 8250 compatible with extension for some UART modes. 3 different variants exist. The simpliest variant supports only RS-232 and is used for debug interfaces. The next variant supports only RS-485 and is used mostly for communication with KEBA panel devices. The third variant is able to support RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422. For this variant not only the mode of the UART is configured, also the physics and transceivers are switched according to the mode.

serial: drop SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS

2025-11-21T17:31:27Z

In 3.7, 8250 was unintentionally renamed to 8250_core. This happened in the commit 835d844d1a28 (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe). This made 8250. module options effectively defunct. Instead, 8250_core. worked. In 3.9, the commit f2b8dfd9e480 (serial: 8250: Keep 8250. module options functional after driver rename) made the original options work again by introducing a hack. Later in 3.9, the commit 9196d8acd7f9 (TTY: 8250, revert module name change) changed the module name back to 8250 (from 8250_core). Since then, the hack was there to support the transient 8250_core. options. Those were present only in the 3.7..3.9 range. These transient options were deprecated by 9326b047e4fd (TTY: 8250, deprecated 8250_core.* options) in v3.9 too. Now, after those 12 years, it is time to get rid of this hack completely.

serial: 8250_ni: Tidy up ACPI ID table

2025-04-11T14:51:20Z

Tidy up ACPI ID table: - drop ACPI_PTR() and hence replace acpi.h with mod_devicetable.h et al. - drop comma in the terminator entry With that done, extend compile test coverage.

serial: 8250: add driver for NI UARTs

2025-03-20T15:13:00Z

The National Instruments (NI) 16550 is a 16550-like UART with larger FIFOs and embedded RS-232/RS-485 transceiver control circuitry. This patch adds a driver that can operate this UART, which is used for onboard serial ports in several NI embedded controller designs. Portions of this driver were originally written by Jaeden Amero and Karthik Manamcheri, with extensive cleanups and refactors since by Brenda Streiff.

tty: serial: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies

2024-10-28T21:44:28Z

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them unconditionally. Some 8250 serial drivers support MMIO only use, so fence only the parts requiring I/O ports and print an error message if a device can't be supported with the current configuration.

serial: 8250_exar: Replace custom EEPROM read with eeprom_93cx6

2024-10-11T06:42:03Z

Replace the custom 93cx6 EEPROM read functions with the eeprom_93cx6 driver. This removes duplicate code and improves code readability. Replace exar_ee_read() calls with eeprom_93cx6_read() or eeprom_93cx6_multiread(). Add "select EEPROM_93CX6" to config SERIAL_8250_EXAR to ensure eeprom_93cx6 driver is also compiled when 8250_exar driver is selected. Note: Old exar_ee_read() and associated functions are removed in next patch in this series. Link to mailing list discussion with Andy Shevchenko for reference.
