Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.
However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.
Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.
This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.
Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.
I was using this definition for testing:
#define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))
which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.
I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

Version 2 of the Server Base System Architecture (SBSAv2) describes UART
hardware registers as 32 bits wide, giving no guidance on access sizes. The
SBSA UART driver previously assumed partial-length 16 and 8 bit accesses would
work. But the SBSAv2 UART hardware on the Qualcomm Technologies QDF2432 only
supports full-length 32 bit register accesses, so use those exclusively. This
is compatible with SBSAv3, which explicitly requires UART hardware support 32
(and 16 and sometimes 8) bit accesses.
Tested on Juno, Midway, QDF2432, Seattle, and X-Gene 1.

The pl011 driver has gone back and forth on the definition of the
ZTE specific variation of the hardware definitions, but the
current state is that the vendor definition is left in place
yet unused:
drivers/tty/serial/amba-pl011.c:190:27: warning: 'vendor_zte' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
I don't know what the plan forward is to get this code to work,
but the current behavior is a bit annoying as we get a warning
whenever we build this driver.
This patch does not help us to make it work, but at least
shuts up the warning.

Use a single common table of struct earlycon_id for both command line
and devicetree. Re-define OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() macro to instance a
unique earlycon declaration (the declaration is only guaranteed to be
unique within a compilation unit; separate compilation units must still
use unique earlycon names).
The semantics of OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() is different; it declares an
earlycon which can matched either on the command line or by devicetree.
EARLYCON_DECLARE() is semantically unchanged; it declares an earlycon
which is matched by command line only. Remove redundant instances of
EARLYCON_DECLARE().
This enables all earlycons to properly initialize struct console
with the appropriate name and index, which improves diagnostics and
enables direct earlycon-to-console handoff.

Instead of defining a new field in the uart_amba_port structure, use the
existing iotype field of the uart_port structure, which is intended for
this purpose. If we need to use 32-bit register access, we set iotype
to UPIO_MEM32, otherwise we set it to UPIO_MEM.
For early console, specify the "mmio32" option on the kernel command-line.

earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x3ced1000

The ARM Server Base System Architecture[1] document describes a
generic UART which is a subset of the PL011 UART.
It lacks DMA support, baud rate control and modem status line
control, among other things.
The idea is to move the UART initialization and setup into the
firmware (which does this job today already) and let the kernel just
use the UART for sending and receiving characters.
We use the recent refactoring to build a new struct uart_ops
variable which points to some new functions avoiding access to the
missing registers. We reuse as much existing PL011 code as possible.
In contrast to the PL011 the SBSA UART does not define any AMBA or
PrimeCell relations, so we go with a pretty generic probe function
which only uses platform device functions.
A DT binding is provided with this patch, ACPI support is added in a
separate one.

Currently the pl011_probe() function is relying on some AMBA IDs
and a device tree node to initialize the driver and a port.
Both features are not necessarily required for the driver:
- we lack AMBA IDs in the ARM SBSA generic UART and
- we lack a DT node in ACPI systems.
So lets refactor the function to ease later reuse.

Although we care about not unregistering the driver if there are
still ports connected during the .remove callback, we do miss this
check in the pl011_probe function. So if the current port allocation

those.
So factor out the port removal into a separate function and use that

Calling _shutdown() with the TX FIFO non-empty is questionable

Commit 734745c serial/amba-pl011: Activate TX IRQ passively
adds some complexity and overhead in the form of a softirq
mechanism for transmitting in the absence of interrupts.
This patch simplifies the code flow to reduce the reliance on
subtle behaviour and avoid fragility under future maintenance.
To this end, the TX softirq mechanism is removed and instead
pl011_start_tx() will now simply stuff the FIFO until full
(guaranteeing future TX IRQs), or until there are no more chars
to write (in which case we don't care whether an IRQ happens).
