serial: SH_SCI: improve "DMA support" prompt

2026-03-04T12:19:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 93bb95a11238d66a4c9aa6eabf9774b073a5895c ] Having a prompt of "DMA support" suddenly appear during a "make oldconfig" can be confusing. Add a little helpful text to the prompt message. Fixes: 73a19e4c0301 ("serial: sh-sci: Add DMA support.")

serial: imx: change SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE to bool

2026-03-04T12:19:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 79527d86ba91c2d9354832d19fd12b3baa66bd10 ] SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE is a build option for the imx driver (SERIAL_IMX). It does not build a separate console driver file, so it can't be built as a module since it isn't built at all. Change the Kconfig symbol from tristate to bool and update the help text accordingly.

serial: stm32: allow selecting console when the driver is module

commit cc4d900d0d6d8dd5c41832a93ff3cfa629a78f9a upstream. Console can be enabled on the UART compile as module. Change dependency to allow console mode when the driver is built as module.

serial: cpm_uart: Fix a COMPILE_TEST dependency

2023-06-09T08:34:26+00:00

commit 7183c37fd53eee1e795206e625da12a5d7ec1e1a upstream. In a COMPILE_TEST configuration, the cpm_uart driver uses symbols from the cpm_uart_cpm2.c file. This file is compiled only when CONFIG_CPM2 is set. Without this dependency, the linker fails with some missing symbols for COMPILE_TEST configuration that needs SERIAL_CPM without enabling CPM2. This lead to: depends on CPM2 || CPM1 || (PPC32 && CPM2 && COMPILE_TEST) This dependency does not make sense anymore and can be simplified removing all the COMPILE_TEST part.

Rewrite the PDC console to become an early console. Beside the fact that now boot information is visible until another (text- or graphics) console takes over, this benefits as well machines with a yet-unsupported STI console and kgdb. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

tty: serial: atmel: Add COMMON_CLK dependency to SERIAL_ATMEL

2022-09-30T12:38:40+00:00

Now that the driver makes use of `__clk_is_enabled()` in order to know whether a `clk_disable_unprepare()` is needed or not on the GCLK, a new dependency has been introduced: COMMON_CLK. If this `CONFIG_COMMON_CLK` is not enabled, whatever config may have this driver enabled without COMMON_CLK then an undefined reference to `__clk_is_enabled()` will be issued by the linker. Thus, make sure that, unless `CONFIG_COMMON_CLK` is enabled, this driver is not compiled.
