In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at

MMIO only use so fence only the parts requiring I/O ports.

So, according to this patch, the serial uart on microblaze, nios2,
openrisc, xtensa, and possibly others is not or no longer supported.

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:470 serial8250_set_defaults+0x1a8/0x22c

Any special reason ?

So according to the warning the p->iotype is 0 which is UPIO_PORT.
For UPIO_PORT the switch above the WARN would pick io_serial_in() and
io_serial_out() as handlers. These use inb() respectively outb() to
access the serial so I don't see how they would work with !HAS_IOPORT
and it most definitely won't work for s390.

Now for Microblaze Kconfig says to select HAS_IOPORT if PCI so I'd
assume that it can use inb()/outb() and maybe the PCI requirement is
not correct if this isn't a PCI device and it used to work with
inb()/outb()? For nios2, openrisc, and xtensa they don't select
HAS_IOPORT so either it really won't work anyway or they should select
it. Can you tell us more about the devices involved where you saw this?


This is seen when booting the affected architectures with qemu.
