So that mean we need to wait till __ioremap__ support available for ARM. How to take this forward then? Here is a platform (exynos7) which needs earlycon support for debugging some of the early core things and ARM64 has ioremap support as well. There is no reason why we should hold earlycon support for exyons7. I see two solution here: 1> How about re-spin patch-1 which will just add ealrycon support for __exynos4210__ serial type only? And rest of the types can be added as incremental patches, as and when ioremap for ARM available. Atleast this approch will solve exynos7 problem of not having earlycon support. And This patch can be tested on exynos7 (I can do that). 2> Take my patch which is working and tested for exynos7 and can be easily extended and generalized when ioremap for ARM is available. My preference would be the the first one. Let me know your thoughts please. In case you are ok with 1st approach, can you please re-spin patch1 with needed changes? > Best regards > Marek Szyprowski > Samsung R&D Institute Poland > > > Patch summary: > > Tomasz Figa (2): > serial: samsung: Add support for of_earlycon > ARM: dts: exynos4: Add stdout-path properties > > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-origen.dts | 1 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-smdkv310.dts | 1 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-trats.dts | 1 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4210-universal_c210.dts | 1 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-odroid-common.dtsi | 4 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-origen.dts | 1 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-smdk4412.dts | 1 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-tiny4412.dts | 4 + > arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-trats2.dts | 1 + > drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig | 1 + > drivers/tty/serial/samsung.c | 97 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 11 files changed, 113 insertions(+) > > -- > 1.9.2 > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Regards, Alim -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
