Hi, This is slightly modified repost of series posted last week http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg12884.html This series switches ARC UART from custom earlyprintk support to generic earlycon (many thanks to Rob for doing that). And also build on Grant's recent work for using DT stdout-path as default console. The motivation is to get rid of the early platform code, which in turn would help consolidate the init code across several ARC platforms. First 3 patches are general cleanup/refactoring, not necesarily related to earlycon. v2 <- v1 -------- * Rebased on linux-next: 20140623 * Patch 9 split into 9 and 10 for driver/platform changes * Patch 10 also uses the DT stdout-path so no need for console= Thx, -Vineet Vineet Gupta (10): serial/arc: use uart_console_write() helper serial/arc: Refactor by referencing to uart_port where possible serial/arc: Remove the workaround for legacy ISS serial/arc: Use generic earlycon infrastructure serial/arc: remove earlyprintk support and switch to earlycon serial/arc: remove last remanants of platform data serial/arc: inline the probe helper ARC: [arcfpga] RIP early uart platform device stuff serial/arc: Enable DT based earlycon ARC: [arcfpga] stdout-path now suffices for earlycon/console arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dts | 3 +- arch/arc/plat-arcfpga/Kconfig | 7 - arch/arc/plat-arcfpga/platform.c | 97 +----------- drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/tty/serial/arc_uart.c | 329 ++++++++++++++------------------------- 5 files changed, 123 insertions(+), 314 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
