[PATCH V2 0/9] bcm63xx_uart and of-serial updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the course of bringing up a new platform[1] that uses this hardware,
I made a couple of improvements:

 - Allow the driver to be built for targets that do not define
   CONFIG_BCM63xx (as mine doesn't)
 - Use devm_ioremap_resource() to simplify the initialization code
 - Allow OF earlycon to be hardwired "on" in the kernel build, so it can
   eventually replace the MIPS EARLY_PRINTK scheme
 - Update documentation; fix typos/grammar


V1->V2:

 - Add acks from Florian
 - Rebase on tty-next (3.18-rc1)
 - bcm63xx_uart: add patches 3,4,6
 - Rework my earlycon change (patches 7,8) to use a config option
   instead of a function call
