[PATCH v1 1/3] serial: liteuart: cosmetic changes

[Gabriel Somlo]

Make some cosmetic/stylistic (non-functional) improvements:

1. Use a DRV_NAME macro to avoid hard-coding "liteuart" in multiple
locations throughout the source file

2. Use bit numbers instead of magic constants for event flags

3. Remove stub uart_ops methods that are not called unconditionally
from serial_core; Document stubs that are required by serial_core

4. Don't set unused port->regshift and port->iobase fields gratuitously
during probe()

5. Improve coding style in liteuart_init()

[PATCH v1 2/3] serial: liteuart: separate RX loop from poll timer

[Gabriel Somlo]

Move the character-receive (RX) loop to its own dedicated function,
and (for now) call that from the poll timer, liteuart_timer().

This is in preparation for adding IRQ support to the receive path.

[PATCH v1 3/3] serial: liteuart: add IRQ support

[Gabriel Somlo]

Add support for IRQ-driven RX. The TX path remains "polling" based,
which is fine since TX is synchronous.

When you list different things you do in a single patch, that means you
should break this up into individual patches.

Please do that here, this should be at least 5 patches.

I don't follow this. If you've handled the RX IRQ, you want to return
IRQ_HANDLED. And if it's a different bit set you haven't handled it.

Why not use the tx interrupts too?

put the string on the one line so it's grepable.

Take a look a the help for pr_fmt in include/linux/printk.h. This way
you get the driver name prefix for all pr_ messages.

Are you sure we need to take a lock and disable interrupts here?

same as above. I think the reason for doing this might have been if
you had a set of registers to change inside the critical section that
you needed to appear atomic. But this hardware only has one register
to flip, so we can do without the locking.

u32, u8, void __iomem * would be better kernel types to use here.

You've also changed ch from a signed 32 to an unsigned 8.

You're no longer clearing EV_TX, but don't mention why (I understand
why with the context of the other changes, so perhaps add something to
this commit message).

uart_insert_char() expects both `status` and `ch` to be of type
`unsigned int`. Switching `ch` to 8-bit was a typo, thanks for
catching it!

I'm going to use `unsigned int status, ch` in v3, to match the
signature of `uart_insert_char()` -- hope that's OK. This will be
a separate commit preceding the "move rx loop out of poll timer"
change.

I'm adding a separate commit to document this (in v3) as well.

Since I only enabled RX IRQs, it didn't occur to me that events would
still be generated for the TX path, regardless. I've made that clearer
(as an intermediate step) in the RX-path irq patch.

I've added another commit that also handles TX-mode IRQs (had to
rewrite the entire TX path to be compatible with both IRQ mode and
callable from the poll timer if IRQs are not supported).

Got rid of the locks in v3.
