Greg Kroah-Hartman e2be04c7f9 License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

Jan Kiszka e8759ad17d serial: uapi: Add support for bus termination
The Siemens IOT2040 comes with a RS485 interface that allows to enable
or disable bus termination via software. Add a bit to the flags field of
serial_rs485 that applications can set in order to request this feature
from the hardware. This seems generic enough to add it for everyone.
Existing driver will simply ignore it when set.

Masahiro Yamada bd94c4077a serial: support 16-bit register interface for console
Currently, 8-bit (MMIO) and 32-bit (MMIO32) register interfaces are
supported for the 8250 console, but the 16-bit (MMIO16) is not.
The 8250 UART device on my board is connected to a 16-bit bus and
my main motivation is to use earlycon with it.

Peter Hurley 647f162b8e serial: uapi: Declare all userspace-visible io types
ioctl(TIOCGSERIAL|TIOCSSERIAL) report and can change the port->iotype.
UART drivers use the UPIO_* definitions, but the uapi header defines
parallel values and userspace uses these parallel values for ioctls;
thus the userspace values are definitive.

Define UPIO_* iotypes in terms of the uapi defines, SERIAL_IO_*;
extend the uapi defines to include all values in use by the serial
core.
