serial: SH_SCI: improve "DMA support" prompt

2026-03-04T12:20:29+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

2026-03-04T12:20:29+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: sc16is7xx: re-add Kconfig SPI or I2C dependency

2024-06-04T12:10:28+00:00

Commit d49216438139 ("serial: sc16is7xx: split into core and I2C/SPI parts (core)") removed Kconfig SPI_MASTER or I2C dependency for SERIAL_SC16IS7XX (core). This removal was done because I inadvertently misinterpreted some review comments. Because of that, the driver question now pops up if both I2C and SPI_MASTER are disabled. Re-add Kconfig SPI_MASTER or I2C dependency to fix the problem.

serial: sc16is7xx: rename Kconfig CONFIG_SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_CORE

2024-06-04T12:10:28+00:00

Commit d49216438139 ("serial: sc16is7xx: split into core and I2C/SPI parts (core)") renamed SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_CORE by SERIAL_SC16IS7XX. This means that some configs should have been updated when I submitted the original patch, but unfortunately they were not. Geert mentioned for example: arch/mips/configs/cu1??0-neo_defconfig Rename SERIAL_SC16IS7XX to SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_CORE so that existing configs will still work correctly.

serial: sc16is7xx: split into core and I2C/SPI parts (core)

2024-04-11T12:08:08+00:00

Split the common code from sc16is7xx driver and move the I2C and SPI bus parts into interface-specific source files. sc16is7xx becomes the core functions which can support multiple bus interfaces like I2C and SPI. No functional changes intended. Also simplify and improve Kconfig entries. - Capitalize SPI keyword for consistency - Display list of supported ICs each on a separate line (and aligned) to facilitate locating a specific IC model - Add Manufacturer name at start of description string - Add UART keyword to description string Suggested-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Hugo Villeneuve Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240409154253.3043822-4-hugo@hugovil.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: uartlite: Use dynamic allocation for major number when uart ports > 4

2023-11-25T07:23:16+00:00

Device number 204 has a range of minors on major number. uart_register_driver is failing due to lack of minor numbers when more number of uart ports used. So, to avoid minor number limitation on 204 major number use dynamic major allocation when more than 4 uart ports used otherwise use static major allocation. https://docs.kernel.org/arch/arm/sa1100/serial_uart.html Signed-off-by: Manikanta Guntupalli Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231116134003.3762725-3-manikanta.guntupalli@amd.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
