[PATCH 0/3] MIPS: AR7: assorted fixes

[Jonas Gorski]

This patchset fixes a few issues found in AR7 that accumulated in the
past few years. One was fixed for ages in OpenWrt/LEDE and never made
it upstream, the others weren't noticed until now.

Jonas Gorski (2):
  MIPS: AR7: defer registration of GPIO
  MIPS: AR7: ensure the port type's FCR value is used

Oswald Buddenhagen (1):
  MIPS: AR7: ensure that serial ports are properly set up

[PATCH 1/3] MIPS: AR7: defer registration of GPIO

[Jonas Gorski]

When called from prom init code, ar7_gpio_init() will fail as it will
call gpiochip_add() which relies on a working kmalloc() to alloc
the gpio_desc array and kmalloc is not useable yet at prom init time.

Move ar7_gpio_init() to ar7_register_devices() (a device_initcall)
where kmalloc works.

[PATCH 2/3] MIPS: AR7: ensure that serial ports are properly set up

[Jonas Gorski]

From: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de>

without UPF_FIXED_TYPE, the data from the PORT_AR7 uart_config entry is
never copied, resulting in a dead port.

[PATCH RFC 3/3] MIPS: AR7: ensure the port type's FCR value is used

[Jonas Gorski]

Since commit aef9a7bd9b67 ("serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt
trigger I/F of FIFO buffers"), the port's default FCR value isn't used
in serial8250_do_set_termios anymore, but copied over once in
serial8250_config_port and then modified as needed.

Unfortunately, serial8250_config_port will never be called if the port
is shared between kernel and userspace, and the port's flag doesn't have
UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF, which would trigger a serial8250_config_port as well.

This causes garbled output from userspace:

[    5.220000] random: procd urandom read with 49 bits of entropy available
ers
   [kee

Fix this by forcing it to be configured on boot, resulting in the
expected output:

[    5.250000] random: procd urandom read with 50 bits of entropy available
Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode
Press the [1], [2], [3] or [4] key and hit [enter] to select the debug level

I'm not sure if this is just AR7's issue, or if this points to a general
issue for UARTs used as kernel console and login console with the "fixed"
commit.

Ralf reappeared so I delegated the patch to him in patchwork, and he has
apparently marked it as accepted.

But perhaps that only just happened and he hasn't pushed yet. Ralf?

Please can this patch be applied to stable branches 3.17+. It is now
merged into mainline as commit 0a5191efe06b ("MIPS: AR7: ensure the port
type's FCR value is used").

Commit b084116f8587 ("MIPS: AR7: Ensure that serial ports are properly
set up") is a prerequisite for it to apply cleanly, but is already
tagged for stable.

Thanks
