The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 family of SoCs contains a
custom (non-PrimeCell) implementation of the SBSA UART. Occasionally the
BUSY bit in the Flag Register gets stuck as 1, erratum 44 for both 2432v1
and 2400v1 SoCs.Checking that the Transmit FIFO Empty (TXFE) bit is 0,
instead of checking that the BUSY bit is 1, works around the issue.
To facilitate this substitution of flags and values, introduce
vendor-specific inversion of Feature Register bits when UART AMBA Port
(UAP) data is available. For the earlycon case, prior to UAP availability,
implement alternative putc and early_write functions.
Similar to what how ARMv8 ACPI PCI quirks are detected during MCFG parsing,
check the OEM fields of the Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR) ACPI
table to determine if the current platform is known to be affected by the
erratum.

The fractional baud rate generator is available when using the
asynchronous mode of Atmel USART controllers. It makes it possible to
use higher baudrates, in exchange for a less precise clock with a
variable duty cycle.
The existing code restricts its use to the normal mode of the USART
controller, following the recommendation from the datasheet for the
first chip embedding this type of controller. This recommendation has
been removed from the documentation for the newer chips. After
verification, all revisions of this controller should be able to use the
fractional baud rate generator with the different asynchronous modes.
Removing the condition on ATMEL_US_USMODE makes it possible to get
correct baudrates at high speed in more cases.
This was tested with a board using an Atmel SAMA5D2 chip and a TI
WL1831 WiFi/Bluetooth combo chip at 3 Mbauds, with hardware flow control
enabled.

On a Rockchip rk3399-based board during suspend/resume testing, we
found that we could get the console UART into a state where it would
print this to the console a lot:
serial8250: too much work for irq42
Followed eventually by:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s!
Upon debugging I found that we're in this state:
iir = 0x000000cc
lsr = 0x00000060
It appears that somehow we have a RX Timeout interrupt but there is no
actual data present to receive. When we're in this state the UART
driver claims that it handled the interrupt but it actually doesn't
really do anything. This means that we keep getting the interrupt
over and over again.
Normally we don't actually need to do anything special to handle a RX
Timeout interrupt. We'll notice that there is some data ready and
we'll read it, which will end up clearing the RX Timeout. In this
case we have a problem specifically because we got the RX TImeout
without any data. Reading a bogus byte is confirmed to get us out of
this state.
It's unclear how exactly the UART got into this state, but it is known
that the UART lines are essentially undriven and unpowered during
suspend, so possibly during resume some garbage / half transmitted
bits are seen on the line and put the UART into this state.
The UART on the rk3399 is a DesignWare based 8250 UART. From mailing
list posts, it appears that other people have run into similar
problems with DesignWare based IP. Presumably this problem is unique
to that IP, so I have placed the workaround there to avoid possibly of
accidentally triggering bad behavior on other IP. Also note the RX
Timeout behaves very differently in the DMA case, for for now the
workaround is only applied to the non-DMA case.

This creates a serdev bus with controllers (i.e. host serial ports) and

some devices have muxing protocols or a h/w mux is conceivable. Any

This is harmless by itself, but it shows two other problems in
the driver:
- It still tries to be generic enough to handle all kinds of serial

and every other uart has its own DT support
- As a result of that generalization, we keep two copies of
'struct uart_port' on the stack during probe(). This is completely
