While updating my local working tree to 4.0-rc4 this morning I noticed that I no longer
got any console (neither video output not serial console) on an Allwinner A20 ARM
board.

This is caused by:

Reverting this commit fixes the serial console being gone for me.

Sorry about that.

After this there still is an issue that tty0 no longer is seen as console, where it
used to be properly used as console in 3.19, I'll investigate that further and send
a separate mail about this.

Greg, this commit has a: "Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 3.19" please do not apply
this commit to stable!

u-boot sets stdout-path to this value on the board in question:
"/soc@01c00000/serial@01c28000:115200"

Looking at the first hunk of the patch in question, the problem is obvious:

   const char *name = strrchr(child->full_name, '/');
   if (WARN(!name, "malformed device_node %s\n", child->full_name))

The new code to determine len will match (when starting at root) the name of
all child nodes against: "soc@01c00000/serial@01c28000" as it checks for
the ":" first and then uses everything before it. Where as the old code
would match against: "soc@01c00000" which is the correct thing to do.

The best fix I can come up with is to check for both ":" and "/" and use
the earlier one as end to calculate the length. I've not coded this out /
tested this due to -ENOTIME. Note that I've also not audited the rest of
the patch for similar issues.

I will happily test any patches to fix this.

Can you give this one a try for the first part of your problem?

I've just given the below patch a test run and it resolves the issue for me.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans


And if you're happy with that, I can revert the previous version and
send a new combined fix.

Rob/Grant: am I OK to assume the existence of the phandle-tests
subnode for my unrelated test?

Subject: [PATCH] of: fix regression in of_find_node_opts_by_path()

This fixes a regression for dealing with paths that contain both a ':'
option separator and a '/' in the path preceding it. And adds a test
case to prove it.

Fixes: 106937e8ccdc ("of: fix handling of '/' in options for of_find_node_by_path()")
