Commit Message

Ivan Sistik Dec. 21, 2020, 11:18 p.m. UTC
This patch is ported and corrected version of my previous patch which can
be reviewed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200106235203.27256-1-sistik@3ksolutions.sk/

I have been waiting for some time to see if Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>
will create patch with his own solution.

Now I am successfully running my imeplementation for almost one year in
production environment. There are no problems with it. I have made
corrections to patch according to notes from Greg Kroah-Hartman
<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>.

Patch content:

AMBA PL011 do not have hardware support for RS485. This implementation is
for drive enable signal (DE), which switch direction of RS485 driver chip.
This signal si drived by RTS pin. Correct multiplexor settings have to be
provided to Device Tree. Usually it is 'ctsrts', which is used for enabling
of HW flow control, too.

DE signal is switched by starting transmition from serial core and data
transfer is initiated by first hrtimer if there is delay before send
enabled.

There is missing FIFO empty interrupt in PL011. It is replaced by second
hrtimer which is started if there are no more data in port transmit buffer.
Notice that port transmit buffer is not the same as HW TX FIFO. Time of
this timmer is set to char send time and it is running until fifo is empty.
This kind of implementation cause that there can be unwanted delay of one
timer tick before DE signal is switched. This is used to prevent data loss
during transmit. Second timer can start first if there is delay after send
enabled.

All of the above should not be in the changelog body, but rather below
the --- line.

Please fix this up and resend a v2 with that moved so I don't have to
hand-edit the patch to be able to apply it!

thanks,
