From: Parker Newman <pnewman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello, These patches add proper support for most of Connect Tech's (CTI) Exar based serial cards. Previously, only a subset of CTI's cards would work with the Exar driver while the rest required the CTI out-of-tree driver. These patches are intended to phase out the out-of-tree driver. I am new to the mailing lists and contributing to the kernel so please let me know if I have made any mistakes or if you have any feedback. Changes in v2: - Put missing PCI IDs in 8250_exar.c instead of pci_ids.h - Split large patch into smaller ones Changes in v3: - Refactored patches to be easier to follow (based on feedback of v2) - Patch specific changes listed in corresponding patch Thank you, Parker Newman (8): serial: exar: adding missing CTI and Exar PCI ids serial: exar: remove old Connect Tech setup serial: exar: added a exar_get_nr_ports function serial: exar: add optional board_init function serial: exar: moved generic_rs485 further up in 8250_exar.c serial: exar: add CTI cards to exar_get_nr_ports serial: exar: add CTI specific setup code serial: exar: fix: fix crash during shutdown if setup fails drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_exar.c | 1079 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 1013 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) base-commit: fec50db7033ea478773b159e0e2efb135270e3b7 -- 2.43.2
