Make sure the transmitter and receiver are stopped when shutting down the port, and related interrupts are disabled. Without this: - New input data may be received into the RX FIFO, possibly triggering a new RX DMA completion, - Transfers will still be enabled on a subsequent startup of the UART, before the UART's FIFOs have been reset, causing reading of stale data. Inspired by a patch in the BSP by Koji Matsuoka <koji.matsuoka.xm@xxxxxxxxxxx>. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2: - Do not clear clock source bits, since the serial console relies on them, as reported by Shimoda-san. v1 was extracted from "[PATCH/RFC v3 0/4] serial: sh-sci: Add DT DMA support". The issues with the serial console seen before on r8a7740/armadillo and sh73a0/kzm9g seem to be gone. Changes after resurrection: - Write zero to also disable related interrupts, as suggested by Laurent Pinchart, - Enhanced patch description. --- drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c b/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c index d6ba90c572f7475c..eecace576c3b758f 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/sh-sci.c @@ -1890,12 +1890,17 @@ static void sci_shutdown(struct uart_port *port) { struct sci_port *s = to_sci_port(port); unsigned long flags; + u16 scr; dev_dbg(port->dev, "%s(%d)\n", __func__, port->line); spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags); sci_stop_rx(port); sci_stop_tx(port); + /* Stop RX and TX, disable related interrupts, keep clock source */ + scr = serial_port_in(port, SCSCR); + serial_port_out(port, SCSCR, scr & (SCSCR_CKE1 | SCSCR_CKE0)); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); #ifdef CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_DMA -- 1.9.1
