Which seems to be due to the fact that after allocating the uap
structure, nothing initializes the spinlock.

Its a little confusing, as uart_port_spin_lock_init() is one
place where the lock is supposed to be initialized, but it has
an exception for the case where the port is a console.

This makes it seem like a deeper fix is needed to properly
register the console, but I'm not sure what that entails, and
Andy suggested that this approach is less invasive.

Thus, this patch resolves the issue by initializing the spinlock
in the driver, and resolves the resulting warning.

<title>serial: 8250: Fix max baud limit in generic 8250 port</title>

[ Upstream commit 7b668c064ec33f3d687c3a413d05e355172e6c92 ]

Standard 8250 UART ports are designed in a way so they can communicate
with baud rates up to 1/16 of a reference frequency. It's expected from
most of the currently supported UART controllers. That's why the former
version of serial8250_get_baud_rate() method called uart_get_baud_rate()
with min and max baud rates passed as (port-&gt;uartclk / 16 / UART_DIV_MAX)
and ((port-&gt;uartclk + tolerance) / 16) respectively. Doing otherwise, like
it was suggested in commit ("serial: 8250_mtk: support big baud rate."),
caused acceptance of bauds, which was higher than the normal UART
controllers actually supported. As a result if some user-space program
requested to set a baud greater than (uartclk / 16) it would have been
permitted without truncation, but then serial8250_get_divisor(baud)
(which calls uart_get_divisor() to get the reference clock divisor) would
have returned a zero divisor. Setting zero divisor will cause an
unpredictable effect varying from chip to chip. In case of DW APB UART the
communications just stop.

Lets fix this problem by getting back the limitation of (uartclk +
tolerance) / 16 maximum baud supported by the generic 8250 port. Mediatek
8250 UART ports driver developer shouldn't have touched it in the first
place  notably seeing he already provided a custom version of set_termios()
callback in that glue-driver which took into account the extended baud
rate values and accordingly updated the standard and vendor-specific
divisor latch registers anyway.

commit e0a851fe6b9b619527bd928aa93caaddd003f70c upstream.

If the call to uart_add_one_port() in serial8250_register_8250_port()
fails, a half-initialized entry in the serial_8250ports[] array is left
behind.

A subsequent reprobe of the same serial port causes that entry to be
reused.  Because uart-&gt;port.dev is set, uart_remove_one_port() is called
for the half-initialized entry and bails out with an error message:

bcm2835-aux-uart 3f215040.serial: Removing wrong port: (null) != (ptrval)

The same happens on failure of mctrl_gpio_init() since commit
4a96895f74c9 ("tty/serial/8250: use mctrl_gpio helpers").

Fix by zeroing the uart-&gt;port.dev pointer in the probe error path.

The bug was introduced in v2.6.10 by historical commit befff6f5bf5f
("[SERIAL] Add new port registration/unregistration functions."):
https://git.kernel.org/tglx/history/c/befff6f5bf5f

The commit added an unconditional call to uart_remove_one_port() in
serial8250_register_port().  In v3.7, commit 835d844d1a28 ("8250_pnp:
do pnp probe before legacy probe") made that call conditional on
uart-&gt;port.dev which allows me to fix the issue by zeroing that pointer
in the error path.  Thus, the present commit will fix the problem as far
back as v3.7 whereas still older versions need to also cherry-pick
835d844d1a28.

<title>kgdboc: Use a platform device to handle tty drivers showing up late</title>

[ Upstream commit 68e55f61c13842baf825958129698c5371db432c ]

If you build CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE into the kernel then you
should be able to have KGDB init itself at bootup by specifying the
"kgdboc=..." kernel command line parameter.  This has worked OK for me
for many years, but on a new device I switched to it stopped working.

The problem is that on this new device the serial driver gets its
probe deferred.  Now when kgdb initializes it can't find the tty
driver and when it gives up it never tries again.

We could try to find ways to move up the initialization of the serial
driver and such a thing might be worthwhile, but it's nice to be
robust against serial drivers that load late.  We could move kgdb to
init itself later but that penalizes our ability to debug early boot
code on systems where the driver inits early.  We could roll our own
system of detecting when new tty drivers get loaded and then use that
to figure out when kgdb can init, but that's ugly.

Instead, let's jump on the -EPROBE_DEFER bandwagon.  We'll create a
singleton instance of a "kgdboc" platform device.  If we can't find
our tty device when the singleton "kgdboc" probes we'll return
-EPROBE_DEFER which means that the system will call us back later to
try again when the tty device might be there.

We won't fully transition all of the kgdboc to a platform device
because early kgdb initialization (via the "ekgdboc" kernel command
line parameter) still runs before the platform device has been
created.  The kgdb platform device is merely used as a convenient way
to hook into the system's normal probe deferral mechanisms.

As part of this, we'll ever-so-slightly change how the "kgdboc=..."
kernel command line parameter works.  Previously if you booted up and
kgdb couldn't find the tty driver then later reading
'/sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc' would return a blank string.
Now kgdb will keep track of the string that came as part of the
command line and give it back to you.  It's expected that this should
be an OK change.

commit 17b4efdf4e4867079012a48ca10d965fe9d68822 upstream.

An uninitialised spin lock for sifive serial console raises a bad
magic spin_lock error as reported and discussed here [1].
Initialising the spin lock resolves the issue.

The fix is tested on HiFive Unleashed A00 board with Linux 5.7-rc4
and OpenSBI v0.7

commit 72d68197281e2ad313960504d10b0c41ff87fd55 upstream.

This reverts commit ae1cca3fa3478be92948dbbcd722390272032ade.

aliases and don't loose functionality which was intended by these changes.

As Johan says, this driver needs a lot more work and these changes are
only going in the wrong direction:
