Hi Greg, This series adds optional reset control and deferred probing support to 8250_dw. These are required to support the UARTs on sun6i/sun8i. They were originally part of my sun8i PRCM series. The other parts of that series have been merged already. It would be really nice if we could get these 2 in as well. Patch 1 adds optional reset control support to the 8250_dw, which is used by sun6i and sun8i platforms. Till now, this wasn't needed from a working standpoint, as the bootloader de-asserts the reset control on the console UART for us. However, during the development of the sun8i patches, I noticed other UARTs wouldn't work. Also the new sun6i A31 Hummingbird has multiple UARTs available, which would require this patch. Patch 2 adds deferred probing to 8250_dw. In my case, even though the clocks and reset controller "devices" were registered before the UART, the 8250_dw driver binded with the UART devices before the clocks and resets were available. This resulted in the 8250_dw driver failing. I only tested the R_UART device. Patch 2 also does proper cleanup in the event that probing failed. Maxime, I dropped your Acked-by because I added the cleanup code path. Changes since v4: - Rebased onto tty-next (4847914) - Do proper cleanup in the probe function if errors are encountered. No changes before v4.
