Currently, since Aspeed also has a similar driver, there is some code
with identical structures on both sides, but a common framework is
lacking. Therefore, this series introduces a generic UART routing
framework. It also moves aspeed-uart-routing.c under this generic
framework and makes it use the interfaces provided by the generic
framework. At the same time, StarFive also registers its own driver
based on this generic framework.
StarFive JHB100 UART Routing allows dynamic routing of inputs between
built-in UARTs and physical serial I/O ports, enabling use cases such
as Host <-> BMC communication via UARTs.
This series has been tested on the EVB1 board.
changes since v2:
PATCH 2:
- Add a "depends on ARCH_ASPEED || COMPILE_TEST" to the "UART routing drivers"
menu.
PATCH 3:
- Move the binding to bindings/soc/starfive/ and update the $id
PATCH 4:
- Append the depends on ARCH_STARFIVE to the "UART routing drivers"
- Use RST literal blocks instead of backslash-escaped asterisks in the
sysfs ABI documentation.
- Update the MAINTAINERS entry for binding.
