Subject: [PATCH 2/3] serial: 8250_dw: configure the Allwinner H616 UART
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 01:33:50 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023-submit-h616-uart-fifo-v1-v1-2-e4a3bae2eba8@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023-submit-h616-uart-fifo-v1-v1-0-e4a3bae2eba8@gmail.com>

H616 has 256-byte transmit and receive FIFOs, but its optional DesignWare
component parameter register reads as zero. Generic 16550 probing leaves
the port using the 16-byte FIFO configuration and its trigger-level table.
DMA attachment also depends on a FIFO size being available during probe,
so these ports do not reach the existing 8250 DMA path.

Use a fixed port configuration for the H616 compatible, with a 256-byte
transmit load and the documented receive thresholds of 1, 64, 128 and 254
bytes. Select the quarter-full receive trigger by default.

Skip optional-register probing for this fixed configuration. H616 has
debug-divisor and RS485 control registers at the offsets used to detect
DesignWare hardware RS485 and fractional-divisor support. Probing these
offsets writes unrelated registers and can select incompatible callbacks.
Keep the BUSY-safe integer divisor hook and software RS485 handling.

Use the existing SKIP_SET_RATE quirk to keep the UART clock enabled during
termios changes. Its clock is a gate on the shared APB2 source, rather than
an independent baud-rate generator.

Attach DMA from the fixed configuration before registering the port. The
8250 core installs its FIFO defaults during registration, after the probe's
FIFO-size test. Configure single-byte RX and TX bursts because the
peripheral request can correspond to just one character. The existing
startup path requests the firmware-described channels and falls back to
PIO when they are unavailable or the port is a kernel console.
