The original read access was for a read access at offset 0xc0 from the base address. Your patch changes this to offset 0x1f * 4 = 0x7c. If you look at arch/mips/include/asm/pmc-sierra/msp71xx/msp_regs.h there's #define MSP_UART0_BASE (MSP_SLP_BASE + 0x100) /* UART0 controller base */ #define MSP_BCPY_CTRL_BASE (MSP_SLP_BASE + 0x120) /* Block Copy controller base */ So there are just 0x20 of address space reserved for that UART. Me thinks that PMC-Sierra clamped the 256 byte address space of the DesignWare APB UART to what is standard for 16550 class UARTs, 8 registers which at a shift of 4 is 0x20 bytes and the status register being accesses is really something else. I'd guess PMC-Sierra just remapped the register to another address. A more proper cleanup would probably be passing something like struct serial_private { void (*dw_abp_int_callback)(void); unsigned long private; }; then in the 8250 interrupt handler something like: } else if ((up->port.iotype == UPIO_DWAPB || up->port.iotype == UPIO_DWAPB32) && (iir & UART_IIR_BUSY) == UART_IIR_BUSY) { struct serial_private *sp; sp = (void *) up->port.private_data; if (sp->dw_abp_int_callback) sp->dw_abp_int_callback(sp->private); serial_out(up, UART_LCR, up->lcr); handled = 1; end = NULL; } On a 2nd thought I wonder if the restricted address space of the PMC-Sierra variant and the strange remapping would justify treating it as a subvariant of the DW APB UART, rename it to UPIO_PMC_MSP_DWAPB, hardcode the access to the remapped status register. And get rid of the unused UPIO_DWAPB32 ... I've cced a few people who should know more about this. Ralf
