Jeremy Kerr 7fbcf3afe6 drivers/serial: Add driver for Aspeed virtual UART 
This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART
device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device
probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too.

The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual
serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller)
and one is on the host CPU side.

This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC
userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at
what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host
on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system
(though most of them use 3f8/4).

OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the
VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard
mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind
to the device, and clear it on unbind.

We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this
bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether
the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

config SERIAL_8250
tristate "8250/16550 and compatible serial support"
select SERIAL_CORE
---help---
This selects whether you want to include the driver for the standard
serial ports. The standard answer is Y. People who might say N
here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP
servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a
serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial
port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades multi serial port driver
does not need this driver built in for it to work.)
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called 8250.
[WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using
non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will
be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted
in the future.]
BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by
the X window system, try running gpm first.
BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem)
under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require
proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows.
Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice,
modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports.
config SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS
bool "Support 8250_core.* kernel options (DEPRECATED)"
depends on SERIAL_8250
default y
---help---
In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to
accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and
8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if
anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to
keep the 8250_core.* options around until they revert the changes
they already did.
If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead.
If you did not notice yet and/or you have userspace from pre-3.7, it
is safe (and recommended) to say N here.
config SERIAL_8250_PNP
bool "8250/16550 PNP device support" if EXPERT
depends on SERIAL_8250 && PNP
default y
---help---
This builds standard PNP serial support. You may be able to
disable this feature if you only need legacy serial support.
config SERIAL_8250_FINTEK
bool "Support for Fintek F81216A LPC to 4 UART RS485 API"
depends on SERIAL_8250
---help---
Selecting this option will add support for the RS485 capabilities
of the Fintek F81216A LPC to 4 UART.
If this option is not selected the device will be configured as a
standard 16550A serial port.
If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE
bool "Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port"
depends on SERIAL_8250=y
select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
select SERIAL_EARLYCON
---help---
If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
system console (the system console is the device which receives all
kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
to that serial port.
Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
(/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options
to the kernel at boot time.)
If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
system console.
You can set that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
"console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding
port is ready.
"earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
"earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
it will not only setup early console.
If unsure, say N.

Saves about 9K.
Note that serial ports on NetMos 9835 Multi-I/O cards are handled
by the parport_serial driver, enabled with CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL.

If you wish to use any non-standard features of the standard "dumb"
driver, say Y here. This includes HUB6 support, shared serial
interrupts, special multiport support, support for more than the
four COM 1/2/3/4 boards, etc.
Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about serial driver options. If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS
bool "Support more than 4 legacy serial ports"
depends on SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED && !IA64

Say Y here if you have dumb serial boards other than the four
standard COM 1/2/3/4 ports. This may happen if you have an AST
FourPort, Accent Async, Boca (read the Boca mini-HOWTO, available
from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>), or other custom
serial port hardware which acts similar to standard serial port
hardware. If you only use the standard COM 1/2/3/4 ports, you can
say N here to save some memory. You can also say Y if you have an
"intelligent" multiport card such as Cyclades, Digiboards, etc.

support for this in the serial driver, say Y here.

bool "Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe)"
depends on SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED
help
Say Y here if you want the kernel to try to guess which IRQ
to use for your serial port.
This is considered unsafe; it is far better to configure the IRQ in
a boot script using the setserial command.
If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_RSA
bool "Support RSA serial ports"
depends on SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED
help
Say Y here if you have a IODATA RSA-DV II/S ISA card and
would like to use its >115kbps speeds.
You will need to provide module parameter "probe_rsa", or boot-time
parameter 8250.probe_rsa with I/O addresses of this card then.
If you don't have such card, or if unsure, say N.

default y
help
This option replaces the "console=ttyO" argument with the matching
ttyS argument if the user did not specified it on the command line.
This ensures that the user can see the kernel output during boot
which he wouldn't see otherwise. The getty has still to be configured
for ttyS instead of ttyO regardless of this option.
This option is intended for people who "automatically" enable this
driver without knowing that this driver requires a different console=
argument. If you read this, please keep this option disabled and
instead update your kernel command line. If you prepare a kernel for a
distribution or other kind of larger user base then you probably want
to keep this option enabled. Otherwise people might complain about a
not booting kernel because the serial console remains silent in case
they forgot to update the command line.
