[PATCH v5 0/4] tty/serial: meson_uart: add support for core clock handling

[PATCH v5 0/4] tty/serial: meson_uart: add support for core clock handling

[Neil Armstrong]

This patchset is a re-spin of Helmut Klein's v3 patchset at [0] and the v4 patchset at [1].

Initially, the original patchset was made to enable usage on the non-AO UARTS
not enabled by the Bootloader (uart_B and uart_C), but the patchset needed
an overall change to have clean and stable DT bindings.

The Amlogic Meson UART Driver did not have stable DT bindings and mismatched
clock handling on non-AO UARTs since these "EE" UARTs needs a clock gate to
be ungated to works correctly.
In the same way, the AO UARTs does not need gating and can be used as
Early Consoles.

In the same time, the UART Interfaces can take clock input for the baudrate
generate from either the external Xtal or the internal Bus Clock (clk81).

So new bindings was necessary to meet these requirements and the DT
maintainers requirements.

The "legacy" binding actually used in the driver is left until all the DT
files are switched to the new bindings.

The GX DT has been tested, but the last 4 Meson6/Meson8/b are only
compile-tested, and testing is welcome.
Thus only the first 3 patches can be merged until the Meson6/Meson8/b are
formally tested.

It must be noted that the meson6 cannot work today except using an early
console since the UART driver could not probe without a clocks property.

Changes since v4 at [1]:
 - Droped meson8/meson8b DT patches
 - Fixes copy/paste error in patch 2
 - Refactored clock probing in patch 2
 - merged meson6 patches together to avoid breaking bisect

+Amlogic Meson SoC UART Serial Interface
+=======================================
+
+The Amlogic Meson SoC UART Serial Interface is present on a large range
+of SoCs, and can be present either in the "Always-On" power domain or the
+"Everything-Else" power domain.
+
+The particularity of the "Always-On" Serial Interface is that the hardware
+is active since power-on and does not need any clock gating and is usable
+as very early serial console.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : compatible: value should be different for each SoC family as :
+	- Meson6 : "amlogic,meson6-uart"
+	- Meson8 : "amlogic,meson8-uart"
+	- Meson8b : "amlogic,meson8b-uart"
+	- GX (GXBB, GXL, GXM) : "amlogic,meson-gx-uart"
+	eventually followed by : "amlogic,meson-ao-uart" if this UART interface
+	is in the "Always-On" power domain.
+- reg : offset and length of the register set for the device.
+- interrupts : identifier to the device interrupt
+- clocks : a list of phandle + clock-specifier pairs, one for each
+	   entry in clock names.
+- clocks-names :
+   * "xtal" for external xtal clock identifier
+   * "pclk" for the bus core clock, either the clk81 clock or the gate clock
+   * "baud" for the source of the baudrate generator, can be either the xtal
+	or the pclk.
+
+e.g.
+uart_A: serial@84c0 {
+	compatible = "amlogic,meson-gx-uart";
+	reg = <0x0 0x84c0 0x0 0x14>;
+	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 26 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;
+	/* Use xtal as baud rate clock source */
+	clocks = <&xtal>, <&clkc CLKID_UART0>, <&xtal>;
+	clock-names = "xtal", "pclk", "baud";
+};

[PATCH v5 4/4] ARM: dts: meson6: use stable UART bindings

[Neil Armstrong]

The UART bindings needs specifying a SoC family, use the meson6 family
for the UART nodes like the other nodes.
Switch to the stable UART bindings for meson6 by adding a XTAL node and
using the proper compatible strings.

IMO, we should keep both compatibles (the more specific one first.)
That would allow new DTs to continue to run on older kernels.

It would also allow this DT change to be completely independent of the
driver changes.  Otherwise, if I merge this before the driver change are
merged, we'll have a bunch of boards with no more serial console output.

Hi Kevin,

Sure, no problem with that.

I'll push an update when the bindings + tty fixes are merged somewhere.

Hi Greg,

Patches 3 & 4 will need a respin to avoid breaking compatibility with old kernel
like the tty patch does by keeping the legacy compatible string.
I will re-send then in a separate thread and Kevin will handle them.

Patches 1 & 2 can be taken if they are OK for you.

Thanks,
Neil

Looks good, now applied, thanks.

Feel free to resend the other two whenever you have them ready.
