For SuperH,

tango@tango:~/work/mainline/linux-next/arch/sh$ grep -nr PORT_SCIFA
kernel/cpu/sh4a/setup-sh7724.c:355:.type           = PORT_SCIFA,
kernel/cpu/sh4a/setup-sh7724.c:375:.type           = PORT_SCIFA,
kernel/cpu/sh4a/setup-sh7724.c:395:.type           = PORT_SCIFA,
kernel/cpu/sh4a/setup-sh7723.c:88:.type           = PORT_SCIFA,
kernel/cpu/sh4a/setup-sh7723.c:108:.type           = PORT_SCIFA,
kernel/cpu/sh4a/setup-sh7723.c:128:.type           = PORT_SCIFA,

And rest use PORT_SCIF, referring to [1] page 564 this behaves similar to SCIFA/B atleast sh7760.

But I couldn’t find datasheet for rest of the family ☹

That’s one less thing to worry.

Great, could you please do the needy 😃
