[PATCH v2 REBASED 00/10] Generic earlyconsole for ARC UART Driver

[PATCH v2 REBASED 00/10] Generic earlyconsole for ARC UART Driver

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

This is slightly modified repost of series posted last week
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg12884.html

This series switches ARC UART from custom earlyprintk support to generic
earlycon (many thanks to Rob for doing that). And also build on Grant's recent
work for using DT stdout-path as default console.

The motivation is to get rid of the early platform code, which in turn
would help consolidate the init code across several ARC platforms.

First 3 patches are general cleanup/refactoring, not necesarily related to
earlycon.

v2 <- v1
--------
* Rebased on linux-next: 20140623
* Patch 9 split into 9 and 10 for driver/platform changes
* Patch 10 also uses the DT stdout-path so no need for console=


Thx,
-Vineet

ioremap is preferred over of_iomap as it is not OF specific. Perhaps
use devm_request_and_ioremap instead.

platform_get_irq should be used here.

I could, but much of the driver assumes OF to be selected already (of_property...)

devm_request_and_ioremap has been flag day removed in favour of
devm_ioremap_resource().
However even then it would require me to retain the prior platform_get_resource()
call.
IMHO, of_iomap is must more concise.

And this again is for reducing OF dependency or is it something else.

Perhaps, but it is preferred to limit the OF specific parts of
drivers. It is maybe not important for this driver, but in cases where
there is a need to support multiple bindings such as DT and ACPI it is
important.

We may eventually stop populating the irqs in resources for DT. The
irqs are now translated at probe time to deal with probe ordering
issues.
