Hi Alan,

Thank you for your reply.

This breaks

	set fcr via sysfs
	set baud rate below 2400
	set baud rate higher

If baud < 2400 and the user has set a value then probably we should honour

OK, I'll add !up->fcr in this flow as follows:

/* NOTE: If fifo_bug is not set, a user can set RX trigger. */
if ((baud < 2400 && !up->dma && !up->fcr) || fifo_bug) {
     fcr &= ~UART_TRIGGER_MASK;
     fcr |= UART_FCR_TRIGGER_1;
     up->fcr = 0;
}

it. If fifo_bug is set then we should never honour it (and should perhaps
eventually error it in the sysfs set).

When fifo_bug is set to "1", we need to check not only
whether (up->bugs & UART_BUG_PARITY) but whether parity is enabled.
We can check whether parity is enable only in this function currently,
so I think we need to store fifo_bug's value into up->fifo_bug and
refer it in the sysfs set(do_set_rx_int_trig()) as follows:

@do_set_rx_int_trig()
    if (!(up->capabilities & UART_CAP_FIFO) || uport->fifosize <= 1
        || (up->fifo_bug & UART_BUG_PARITY))
        return -EINVAL;

+		break;

Surely the default case should be returning 1 not 0 ?

In the default case, it returns "0" meaning error because "1" has
other meaning (1 byte RX trigger). But, "0" is not instinctive value for
the error, so it should return -EOPNOTSUPP here.

What happens if you specify a meaningless value. Doing exact matching
means that you have to know the hardware exactly. How about

	if (val < 4)
		return UART_FCR_R_TRIG_00;
	else if (val < 8)
		return UART_FCR_R_TRIG_01;
	else if (val < 14)
		return UART_FCR_R_TRIG_10;
	else
		return UART_FCR_R_TRIG_11;

so you get the nearest lower value that the hardware can provide ?

It is a good idea. I was concerned about the same thing which users
must know the HW exactly.

I'll implement it as you say.

+		break;
+	default:
+		pr_info("Not support RX-trigger setting for this serial %u\n",
+			up->port.type);

That lets users spew into the logs. I think actually you just want

	default:
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;

OK, I'll use this.

Thank you,
