Hi, this series is trying to address discussion I had with Alan in past https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9738445/. It is moving uart_register_driver() to probe function like it is done in pl011 driver. And also introducing new function for alias compatibility checking to resolve cases where some IPs have alias and some of them not. This case is detected in pl011_probe_dt_alias() but not properly solved. Also keep status of free ids/minor numbers in bitmap to know what's the next unallocated number. The same solution can be used in pl011, uart16550 and uartlite to really get unified kernel. Tested on these use cases: Notes: ff000000 is the first PS uart listed in dtsi ff010000 is the second PS uart listed in dtsi Standard zcu102 setting serial0 = &uart0; serial1 = &uart1; [ 0.196628] ff000000.serial: ttyPS0 at MMIO 0xff000000 (irq = 33, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps [ 0.642542] ff010000.serial: ttyPS1 at MMIO 0xff010000 (irq = 34, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps Swapped zcu102 setting serial0 = &uart1; serial1 = &uart0; [ 0.196472] ff000000.serial: ttyPS1 at MMIO 0xff000000 (irq = 33, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps [ 0.196824] ff010000.serial: ttyPS0 at MMIO 0xff010000 (irq = 34, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps uart0 on alias higher then MAX uart ports serial0 = &uart1; serial200 = &uart0; [ 0.176793] ff000000.serial: ttyPS200 at MMIO 0xff000000 (irq = 33, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps [ 0.177288] ff010000.serial: ttyPS0 at MMIO 0xff010000 (irq = 34, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps Both uarts on higher aliases serial1 = &uart1; serial2 = &uart0; [ 0.196470] ff000000.serial: ttyPS2 at MMIO 0xff000000 (irq = 33, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps [ 0.196823] ff010000.serial: ttyPS1 at MMIO 0xff010000 (irq = 34, base_baud = 6250000) is a xuartps uart0 not listed but it is probed first that's why should be ttyPS0 but there is uart1 via alias serial0 = &uart1; [ 0.176656] xuartps ff000000.serial: No serial alias passed.
