   What was the point of introducing the separate port type if its
settings are the same as for PORT_16550A?

I was under the impression that for every serial port hardware that is not
exactly identical to one of the standard types, a distinct port type is
required to be able to write code that takes care of its peculiarities.
But from what you have written so far I conclude that this was a
misconception.

   Yes, I see one case where the distinct port type serves its purpose --
iotype could have been used instead anyway.

   I guess you're using regshift == 0?

Yes.

Well, regshift of 2 seems more fitting for the 32-bit registers. This is not principal but using 0 regshift don't actually buy anything -- the shift will be perfomed anyway.

   Why you're not using specific iotype for RM9000 UARTs?

Because I did not realize that this was necessary. The device registers are

   So, read on... :-)

   And why this doesn't check for up->port.type == PORT_RM9000 first? This
way it won't work with any compatible UARTs anymore. This is wrong.

Because it is inside a conditional block already. I now realize that even if
the driver is configured for some special silicon it still has to support
the standard types, something that escaped me when I started to write the
code.

Yes. And it's after you have yourself pointed out the compatibility issues. :-)

   Not sure the autoconfig code was intended for half-compatible UARTs.
Note that it sets up->port.type as its result. However, your change seems
correct, it just have nothing to do with RM9000.

Should I factor out this part and create a separate patch for it?

   Now this is up to Russel. :-)

   As a side note, I think that the code that sets DLAB before and resets
it after the divisor latch read/write should be part of serial_dl_read()
and serial_dl_write() actually. In the Alchemy UARTs this bit is reserved.

   BTW, I guess for RM9000 it should be also reserved?

   It would be good to clarify why this is needed...

The RM9000 serial h/w also needs to be kicked if a transmitter holding register empty
interrupt is pending. Oh, and no need to tell me, I realize that I have to deal with
the standard case here as well...

Does RM9000 have UART_BUG_TXEN flag set? Note that this code will only execute in such case.

I would like to return to the port type vs. iotype  stuff once again. From what you
wrote I seem to understand that the iotype is not just a method of accessing device
registers, but also the primary means of discrimination between different h/w

   No, it's intended as just a method of accessing device registers.

implementations, and hence every code to support a nonstandard device must define an
iotype of its own, even though one of the existing iotypes would work just fine? In my

UPIO_MEM32 doesn't actually cover your case as it corresponds to the UART with the fully 8250-compatible register set, just having 32-bit registers instead of the usual 8-bit ones. RM9000 is clearly not fully compatible to 8250 in regard to the register addresses since it has RX/TX regs, FCR and the divisor latch mapped to the separate addresses, just like Alchemy UART. And I stressed that it's the main issue with this
UART's compatibility to 8250 in my first followup.

case, UPIO_AU might be the best choice,

Alchemy UARTs have *different* address mapping, so UPIO_AU clearly *cannot* be used for RM9000 UART.

as __raw_readl() and __raw_writel() are insensitive
to CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE, and that is what I want.

   Why you've used readl() and writel() then, may I ask? :-)

Would I still need to invent UPIO_RM9K,

   Yes.

just to have a distinct iotype, and be able to do 'if (up->port.iotype == UPIO_RM9K)'

   A good "just to".

where I now use 'if (up->port.type == PORT_RM9000)'? That seems a bit weird.

   Why?
