[PATCH 0/2] serial: Add name field to uart_port

[Vignesh R]

This series adds name attribute to uart_port struct inorder to store
name of the tty port that will help in identify different uart
instances.
This patch series is based on discussion here[1].

[PATCH 1/2] tty: serial_core: Add name field to uart_port struct

[Vignesh R]

Introduce a field to store name of uart_port that can be used to easily
identify uart port instances on a system that has more than one uart
instance. The name is of the form ttyXN(eg. ttyS0, ttyAMA0,..) where N
is number that particular uart instance.
This field will be useful when printing debug info for a particular port
or in register irqs with unique irq name. Port name is populated during
uart_add_one_port().

[PATCH 2/2] serial: 8250: 8250_core: Fix irq name for 8250 serial irq

[Vignesh R]

Using dev_name() as irq name during request_irq() might be misleading in
case of serial over PCI. Therefore identify serial port irqs using
uart_port's name field. This will help mapping irqs to appropriate
ttySN(where N is the serial port index) instances.

This is fragile. dev_name is defined as pointer, so, it would be any length.
So, better to use [devm_]kasprintf().

Please, use versioning for the series. This AFAIU should be v3, and
next (which is expecting based on comments) would be v4.

Based on the information in name member of uart_port it looks best
approach to me.

Ok, will you use kasprintf() (and corresponding kfree()) as device is

The very first patch I submitted was accepted. So I did not make the
previous patch as v2 as it was an incremental fix. Since, this series is
very different from previous patch, I chose not to label this as v3.
Anyways, will make the next version as v4.

Thanks for the review!

Fair enough.

No need, then it makes sense to mark it as v2.
