8250_early for big-endian

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello

I am using 8250 console and wish to use the 8250_early as well.

I encounter endianess problem while using this driver for mmio32.

The problem is since my serial peripheral like my cpu is in BIG endian.

Driver through serial_in/serial_out uses readl/writel from asm-generic/io.h.

These macros assume peripheral is always in LITTLE endian.

Therefore all data needs a swab. 

In 8250 driver I can register replacement for default serial_in/serial_out and workaround the problem.
In 8250_early I had no choice but to change code with additional swab to workaround the problem.

I am looking for proper solution so it can be added to upstream.
I got several ideas if interest arise.

Waiting for your comments
