Numbering the ttyLPn space should not depend on the generic name "serial<n>". If don't add the alias node like:"serial0 = &lpuart0;", then lpuart will probe failed: [ 0.773410] fsl-lpuart 2950000.serial: failed to get alias id, errno -19 So remove the alias node dependence, and add the support for allocate the line port automatically. v3: Incorporated review comments of memory clean-up v2: Incorporated Review comments https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9473977/ Signed-off-by: Yuan Yao <yao.yuan@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Vabhav Sharma <vabhav.sharma@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c b/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c index 3f8d127..00c220e 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c @@ -232,6 +232,8 @@ /* IMX lpuart has four extra unused regs located at the beginning */ #define IMX_REG_OFF 0x10 +static DEFINE_IDA(fsl_lpuart_ida); + struct lpuart_port { struct uart_port port; struct clk *clk; @@ -2143,8 +2145,11 @@ static int lpuart_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) ret = of_alias_get_id(np, "serial"); if (ret < 0) { - dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get alias id, errno %d\n", ret); - return ret; + ret = ida_simple_get(&fsl_lpuart_ida, 0, UART_NR, GFP_KERNEL); + if (ret < 0) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "port line is full, add device failed\n"); + return ret; + } } if (ret >= ARRAY_SIZE(lpuart_ports)) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "serial%d out of range\n", ret); @@ -2246,6 +2251,8 @@ static int lpuart_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) uart_remove_one_port(&lpuart_reg, &sport->port); + ida_simple_remove(&fsl_lpuart_ida, sport->port.line); + clk_disable_unprepare(sport->clk); if (sport->dma_tx_chan) @@ -2384,6 +2391,7 @@ static int __init lpuart_serial_init(void) static void __exit lpuart_serial_exit(void) { + ida_destroy(&fsl_lpuart_ida); platform_driver_unregister(&lpuart_driver); uart_unregister_driver(&lpuart_reg); } -- 2.7.4
