This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: avoid idle preamble pending if CTS is enabled to the 6.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tty-serial-fsl_lpuart-avoid-idle-preamble-pending-if-cts-is-enabled.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 74cb7e0355fae9641f825afa389d3fba3b617714 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sherry Sun <sherry.sun@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2024 09:57:06 +0800 Subject: tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: avoid idle preamble pending if CTS is enabled MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Sherry Sun <sherry.sun@xxxxxxx> commit 74cb7e0355fae9641f825afa389d3fba3b617714 upstream. If the remote uart device is not connected or not enabled after booting up, the CTS line is high by default. At this time, if we enable the flow control when opening the device(for example, using “stty -F /dev/ttyLP4 crtscts” command), there will be a pending idle preamble(first writing 0 and then writing 1 to UARTCTRL_TE will queue an idle preamble) that cannot be sent out, resulting in the uart port fail to close(waiting for TX empty), so the user space stty will have to wait for a long time or forever. This is an LPUART IP bug(idle preamble has higher priority than CTS), here add a workaround patch to enable TX CTS after enabling UARTCTRL_TE, so that the idle preamble does not get stuck due to CTS is deasserted.
