Last August you posted a series to add multiplexer support for serdev: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg27329.html Another use case has now popped up where a GPIO-controlled mux is used to switch between two serdev slaves: As mentioned in a series I've just posted to linux-bluetooth@ (quoted above), on the MacBook 8,1 the UART is attached to a serial debug port on the SSD as well as to a Bluetooth controller, subject to a mux controlled by PCH GPIO 36. The SSD debug ported is listed first in the ACPI namespace and is attached as a serdev slave without a hitch (see DSDT excerpt included below). The Bluetooth controller comes next and fails to register due to a sanity check in serdev_device_add(): [ 0.361650] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled [ 0.362633] 0000:00:15.5: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xc1819000 (irq = 21, base_baud = 2764800) is a 16550A [ 0.362769] serial serial0-0: controller busy [ 0.362815] serial serial0-0: failure adding ACPI serdev device. status -16 [ 0.362860] serial serial0: tty port ttyS0 registered The series you've posted in August hasn't been merged. Taking a closer look at patch [2/6] (linked above), you've put the calls to lock and unlock the mux in the slave, i.e. max9260.c. This works because in your use case, the UART is shared only by MAX9260 chips. I think a more generic solution is called for which puts the locking of the mux in the serdev controller and makes it fully transparent to the slaves. So whenever data is read or written to the UART's FIFO or whenever the modem control lines are accessed, the mux needs to be locked to the respective slave first. The sanity check introduced by 08fcee289f34 to prevent registration of multiple serdev slaves needs to be amended to check for presence of a mux if more than one slave registers, and check whether the number of switch states is sufficient to accomodate the additional slave. If you do find the time to amend the series in this way, it would result in something truly useful that we could also employ to solve Bluetooth muxing on the MacBook8,1 in a clean way.
