I think that Guenter's patch should be merged asap.
Right now the bug it fixes stops us from boot testing in qemu.


I'll send out a build (failure) report after -rc1 is out.
Maybe that will create enough visibility to get the patch accepted
(or officially Nacked).

For the broken mctrl irq handling part, when Uwe
has converted mxs-auart to use the generic irq init,
I can do the same for etraxfs + make sure that it gets tested
properly on real hardware.

Yes. BTW, 7b9c5162c182 looks broken, too, because the interrupt handling
is missing.
The only drivers including serial_mctrl_gpio.h is atmel_serial.c,
clps711x.c, mxs-auart.c and etraxfs-uart.c

etraxfs commit
7b9c5162c182 ("serial: etraxfs-uart: use mctrl_gpio helpers for handling modem signals")
is heavily influenced by
62b0a1b3e759 ("serial: clps711x: Use mctrl_gpio helpers for handling modem signals")

a driver which also appears to lack mctrl irq setup/handling.


Uwe, are you going to convert all serial drivers that includes serial_mctrl_gpio.h to
use the new mctrl_gpio_init? (which also sets up irqs)
That is the plan. For drivers like mxs-auart (that do irq handling) this
is just simplification. When the irq handling is missing converting to
the new mctrl_gpio_init might introduce regressions because it does
request_irq which might fail.

Since mctrl gpios are optional in the device tree, I guess mctrl_gpio_init handles if
they are missing. So even if etraxfs-uart.c currently lacks mctrl irq setup/handling,
if we migrate it to use the new mctrl_gpio_init, we will get this automatically?
Right, if there are no gpios specified (new and old) mctrl_gpio is a
nop.

Best regards
Uwe
