[PATCH RESEND 2/8] serial: 8250: Add ioctl to enable auto rs485 mode with some Exar UARTs

From: Matthias Fuchs <mfu...@ma-fu.de>

Some Exar UARTs support an auto rs485 mode. In this mode
the UART's RTS# pin is activated during transmitting and
can be used to enable a rs485 line driver. This has nothing
to do with attempts to do this by manually asserting/
deasserting handshake lines in software.

[wsa] Replaced 0xbf with define, saved some line-breaks.

This variant can select the polarity of RTS# when TX is active with
RS485. Add code to support that, too.

When set, save RS485 related flags in the private struct. This avoids
mangling with chip registers when reading back the RS485 config. Also,
features can check their configuration at runtime which will be needed
for a later patch.

Some 8250-variants control the direction pin for RS485 in hardware. Linux has
RS485 support these days, so update the 8250-driver to adhere to that.

Code is based on 3.2-rc4, tested on a OMAP-based custom board with a 16V2750.
A git tree can be found here:

git://git.pengutronix.de/git/wsa/linux-2.6.git 8250_rs485

There is no code change since the initial post of this series. I updated some
of the patch descriptions, though. A kind-of-ack from Claudio can be found here
[1]. Please consider for inclusion.

Thanks and regards,

Wolfram

All docs I checked do say LCR should NOT be 0xBF (16c850, 16c854,
16v2750). Fix it according to that, since the only usage of the register
currently implements the revised access method. If somebody later finds
a derivate which actually does need 0xBF to enable that register, we can
update the comment again with precise references.

There might be chips capable of doing this, but for now nothing is implemented,
so reject usage of this feature.

To prevent echo in some configurations, make sure we do not read back
when we are sending if RS485 is configured this way. We need to shuffle
stop_rx() around, implement start_rx() and call it in apropriate places.

That should go in anyway

Please split this out so that the ioctl handler calls a pair of port->
methods or errors if NULL. That'll future proof it and keep chip specific
stuff out of the direct paths.

Other than that I'm fine with it. Functionality, locking etc.

Ok thats what I get for reading in order - so the #2 problem is ok when
its folded together

Chip specific stuff all wants to be in a port method so while #3 sorts
out much of #2 this goes back to wanting port-> methods and flags to
avoid assumptions about chip types in the core bits.

#7 really makes the point why it is needed.

So pardon the confused series of review comments but I think the summary
is port->ops for RS485 stuff please.

Hi Wolfram,

since the code has not been changed, my opinion remains that it is fine
and it should enter mainline.

Best regards,

Claudio
