Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable serial
platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.
NOTE that Kconfig for some of these drivers doesn't allow modular builds, and
thus doesn't match the driver source's unload support. Presumably their
unload code is buggy and/or weakly tested...

Strange chars appear on the serial port when a printk and a printf
happens at the same time. This is caused by the pdc sending chars while
atmel_console_write (called from printk) is executing
Concurent access of uart and console to the same port leads to corrupted
data to be transmitted, so disable tx dma (PDC) while writing to the
console.

I found a problem related to losing data during pdc transmission in
atmel_serial: connect ttyS1 with ttyS2 using a loopback cable, send 30
byte of packet from one to the other and waiting for 30 byte. On the
other side just read and echo the data received.
We always call atmel_tx_dma() from the tasklet regardless of what interrupt
triggered it.

In commit e6bafba5b4765a5a252f1b8d31cbf6d2459da337 ("wmi: (!x & y)
strikes again"), a bug was fixed that involved converting !x & y to !(x
& y). The code below shows the same pattern, and thus should perhaps be
fixed in the same way.
This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

This header is needed on other architectures as well (namely h8300),
which currently fails to build without this in place. Rather than
duplicating the port definition completely there, just move this to a

This patch is based on the DMA-patch by Chip Coldwell for the AT91/AT32 serial
USARTS, with some tweaks to make it apply neatly on top of the other patches
in this series.
The RX and TX code has been moved to a tasklet and reworked a bit. Instead of
depending on the ENDRX and TIMEOUT bits in CSR, we simply grab as much data as
we can from the DMA buffers. I think this closes a race where the ENDRX bit
is set after we read CSR but before we read RPR, although I haven't confirmed
this.
Similarly, the two TX handlers (ENDTX and TXBUFE) have been combined into one.
Since the current code only uses a single TX buffer, there's no point in
handling those interrupts separately.
This also fixes a DMA sync bug in the original patch.

Split up the interrupt handler of the serial port into a interrupt top-half
and a tasklet.
The goal is to get the interrupt top-half as short as possible to minimize
latencies on interrupts. But the old code also does some calls in the
interrupt handler that are not allowed on preempt-RT in IRQF_NODELAY context.
This handler is executed in this context because of the interrupt sharing with
the timer interrupt. The timer interrupt on Preempt-RT runs in IRQF_NODELAY
context.
The tasklet takes care of handling control status changes, pushing incoming
characters to the tty layer, handling break and other errors. It also handles
pushing TX data into the data register.
Reading the complete receive queue is still done in the top-half because we
never want to miss any incoming character.

This is a set of changes to implement proper resource management in the
driver, including iomem space reservation and operating on physical
addresses ioremap()ped appropriately using accessory functions rather than
unportable direct assignments.
Some adjustments to code are made to reflect the architecture of the
interface, which is a centrally controlled multiport (or, as referred to
from DEC documentation, a serial line multiplexer, going up to 8 lines
originally) rather than a bundle of separate ports.
Types are changed, where applicable, to specify the width of hardware
registers explicitly. The interrupt handler is now managed in the
->startup() and ->shutdown() calls for consistency with other drivers and
also in preparation to handle the handover from the initial firmware-based
console gracefully.

A set of changes to the way termios settings are propagated to the serial
port hardware. The DZ11 only supports a selection of fixed baud settings,
so some requests may not be fulfilled. Keep the old setting in such a case
and failing that resort to 9600bps. Also add a missing update of the
transmit timeout. And remove the explicit encoding of the line selected
from writes to the Line Parameters Register as it has been preencoded by
the ->set_termios() call already. Finally, remove a duplicate macro for
the Receiver Enable bit.

Polled transmission is tricky enough with the DZ11 design. While "loop" is
set to a high value, conceptually you are not allowed to transmit without
checking whether the device offers the right transmission line (yes, it is the
device that selects the line -- the driver has no control over it other than
disabling the transmitter offered if it is the wrong one), so the loop has to
be run at least once.
Well, the '1977 or PDP11 view of how serial lines should be handled... Except
that the serial interface used to be quite an impressive board back then
rather than chip.
