Sonic Zhang d307d36ade tty: Blackin CTS/RTS
Both software emulated and hardware based CTS and RTS are enabled in
serial driver.

The CTS RTS PIN connection on BF548 UART port is defined as a modem
device not as a host device.  In order to test it under Linux, please
nake a cross UART cable to exchange CTS and RTS signal.

Benjamin Krill 5886188dc7 serial: Add driver for the Cell Network Processor serial port NWP device
Add support for the nwp serial device which is connected to a DCR bus. It
uses the of_serial device driver to determine necessary properties from
the device tree.  The supported device is added as serial port number 85.

NWP stands for network processor and it is part of the QPACE - Quantum
Chromodynamics Parallel Computing on the Cell Broadband Engine project.
The implementation is a lightweight uart implementation with the focus
to consume as little resources as possible and it is connected to a
DCR bus.

David Miller b70ac77185 serial: allow 8250 to be used on sparc
This requires three changes:

1) Remove !SPARC restriction in Kconfig.

2) Move Sparc specific serial drivers before 8250, so that serial
   console devices don't change names on us, even if 8250 finds
   devices.

3) Since the Sparc specific serial drivers try to use the
   same major/minor device namespace as 8250, some coordination
   is necessary.  Use the sunserial_*() layer routines to allocate
   minor number space within TTY_MAJOR when CONFIG_SPARC.

   This has no effect on other platforms.

Thanks to Josip Rodin for bringing up this issue and testing
plus debugging various revisions of this patch.

Adrian Bunk f606ddf42f remove the v850 port
Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists
since at least kernel 2.6.19.

There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable
state.

This patch therefore removes the v850 port.

If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be
available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to
reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

Chip Coldwell a66706158d atmel_serial: add DMA support
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.

Andrew Morton 57d4810ea0 revert "x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices"
Revert 7e92b4fc34.  It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)

  This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
  breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."

  It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO.  Serial ports are something
  that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game.  My new Intel
  platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
  messing with serial port probing even more...  because...  just wait a year,
  and your box won't have a serial port either!  :)

  I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
  but the probe change seems questionable.  That's sorta analagous to
  rewriting the floppy driver probe routine.  Sure you could do it...  but why
  risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?

  It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
  something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.

Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.
