serial: SH_SCI: improve "DMA support" prompt

2026-03-04T12:20:09+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

2026-03-04T12:20:09+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.

tty: serial: Add Nuvoton ma35d1 serial driver support

2023-06-19T13:42:26+00:00

This adds UART and console driver for Nuvoton ma35d1 Soc. It supports full-duplex communication, FIFO control, and hardware flow control. Command line set "console=ttyNVT0,115200", NVT means Nuvoton MA35 UART port. The UART driver probe will create path named "/dev/ttyNVTx".

serial: cpm_uart: Fix a COMPILE_TEST dependency

2023-05-30T11:25:47+00:00

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.

tty: serial: remove obsolete config SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS_4

2023-03-29T08:53:14+00:00

Commit 1ea35b355722 ("ARM: s3c: remove s3c24xx specific hacks"), allows simplifying the whole config logic for SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS, and did this config simplification. However, it misses that SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS_4's effect was just to control SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS, and with the commit's change, the config SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS_4 has no remaining effect and can be deleted. Remove this obsolete config SERIAL_SAMSUNG_UARTS_4.
