db5933225f TTY/Staging driver updates for 4.16-rc1
Here is the big tty/serial driver update for 4.16-rc1.
 
 The usual number of various serial driver fixes and updates to try to
 get them to work with crazy hardware configurations (seriously, how many
 different ways are hardware engineers going to come up with to hook up a
 simple UART?)
 
 There is also some serdev bugfixes and updates, as well as a smattering
 of other small fixes in here.
 
 All have been in the linux-next tree for a while, with no reported
 issues.

10f9e033c1 serdev: document driver callbacks
Amend the driver-callback kerneldoc with calling context and expected
return values.

Note that this is based on the requirements and characteristics of the
tty-port controller implementation which receives data in workqueue
context and whose write_wakeup callback must not sleep.

Also note that while the receive_buf callback returns an integer, the
returned value is still expected to be non-negative (and no greater than
the buffer-size argument).

fd00cf81a9 serdev: fix receive_buf return value when no callback
The receive_buf callback is supposed to return the number of bytes
processed and should specifically not return a negative errno.

Due to missing sanity checks in the serdev tty-port controller, a driver
not providing a receive_buf callback could cause the flush_to_ldisc()
worker to spin in a tight loop when the tty buffer pointers are
incremented with -EINVAL (-22).

The missing sanity checks have now been added to the tty-port
controller, but let's fix up the serdev-controller helper as well.

8cde11b2ba tty/serdev: add serdev registration interface
Add a new interface for registering a serdev controller and clients, and
a helper function to deregister serdev devices (or a tty device) that
were previously registered using the new interface.

Once every driver currently using the tty_port_register_device() helpers
have been vetted and converted to use the new serdev registration
interface (at least for deregistration), we can move serdev registration
to the current helpers and get rid of the serdev-specific functions.

 go in through that tree.  I'll send the expected merge result as a

6fe729c4bd serdev: Add serdev_device_write subroutine
Add serdev_device_write() a blocking call allowing to transfer
arbitraty amount of data (potentially exceeding amount that
serdev_device_write_buf can process in a single call)

To support that, also add serdev_device_write_wakeup().

Drivers wanting to use full extent of serdev_device_write
functionality are expected to provide serdev_device_write_wakeup() as
a sole handler of .write_wakeup event or call it as a part of driver's
custom .write_wakeup code.

Because serdev_device_write() subroutine is a superset of
serdev_device_write_buf() the patch re-impelements latter is terms of
the former. For drivers wanting to just use serdev_device_write_buf()
.write_wakeup handler is optional.

bed35c6dfa serdev: add a tty port controller driver
Add a serdev controller driver for tty ports.

The controller is registered with serdev when tty ports are registered

effect of making serdev built-in as well.

cd6484e183 serdev: Introduce new bus for serial attached devices
The serdev bus is designed for devices such as Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS
and NFC connected to UARTs on host processors. Tradionally these have
been handled with tty line disciplines, rfkill, and userspace glue such
as hciattach. This approach has many drawbacks since it doesn't fit
into the Linux driver model. Handling of sideband signals, power control
and firmware loading are the main issues.

This creates a serdev bus with controllers (i.e. host serial ports) and
attached devices. Typically, these are point to point connections, but
some devices have muxing protocols or a h/w mux is conceivable. Any
muxing is not yet supported with the serdev bus.
