Select feature discovery and DMA attachment through a platform-data setup
callback. The generic callback probes the optional registers and attaches
DMA when a FIFO size is available. Integrations with a fixed configuration
can supply their own setup before the port is registered. Allow setup to
return an error so integrations can reject invalid configuration before
registration.
Replace skip_autocfg with the Octeon setup selection. Octeon is a 64-bit
platform and continues to skip optional-register probing while retaining
its DMA setup. Select the DMA setup helper directly for this integration.
Keep generic setup for devices without matched platform data as well.

Extract the receive-trigger threshold search into serial8250_bytes_to_fcr()
so drivers with per-port threshold tables can use the same conversion as
the generic 8250 implementation. Keep the implementation in 8250_port.c and
export it for subdrivers.
Include the unsupported-table check in the helper and preserve the existing
nearest-lower selection and highest-encoding fallback.

The H616 UART has 256-byte transmit and receive FIFOs, but its DesignWare
component parameter register does not report the FIFO depth. Its optional
register layout also differs from the generic DesignWare integration.
Add a specific compatible to identify this fixed configuration, retaining
snps,dw-apb-uart as a fallback.

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.
Keep PORT_16550A and describe H616's fixed 256-byte FIFO depth in platform
data. Use common Allwinner setup helpers to configure the transmit load
and receive trigger table from that depth.
Derive the receive thresholds from the documented 1-byte, quarter-full,
half-full and FIFO-depth-minus-two mapping. On H616 these are 1, 64, 128
and 254 bytes; the normal 16550A half-full FCR setting selects 128 bytes.
Allwinner encodes these thresholds as fractions of the FIFO depth rather
than fixed byte counts. Building a per-port table from that depth keeps
the mapping in one place for integrations with different FIFO sizes,
including those that report their depth through FCC. It also lets the
shared 8250 conversion helper select the nearest lower threshold for sysfs
writes using the same table as the read callback.
Serialize trigger changes with termios and hold a runtime PM reference
while programming FCR, preserving the FIFO contents. Propagate runtime
resume errors before changing either the FCR shadow or the hardware.
Advertise automatic flow control so CRTSCTS enables MCR.AFCE. The
DesignWare termios path selects hardware CTS handling, so the capability
must be present for the corresponding hardware control to be enabled.
Select the fixed configuration through the platform setup callback.
H616 has debug-divisor and RS485 control registers at the offsets used to
detect DesignWare hardware RS485 and fractional-divisor support. Avoid
those probes and retain 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.

Identify the H616 UART integration on each of the six controllers. The
specific compatible describes the fixed FIFO capacity, register layout
and receive-trigger mapping.
Retain snps,dw-apb-uart as the generic fallback. H618 includes this DTSI
and uses the same UART integration.

The A523 UART integration has different FIFO depths across its controllers
and reports each controller's depth in the FIFO Clock Control register.
Its receive thresholds are fractions of that depth, and its optional
register layout differs from the generic DesignWare integration.
Add a compatible for this integration, also used by A527 and T527, with
snps,dw-apb-uart as a fallback.

The A523 UART integration, also used by A527 and T527, has 64-byte FIFOs
on UART0 and 128-byte FIFOs on UART1 through UART7. Each controller reports
its TX/RX FIFO depth in bits 31:8 of the FIFO Clock Control register at
offset 0xf0. The field holds a byte count, not a logarithmic encoding.
Read this field in the sunxi setup callback when platform data does not
provide a fixed FIFO size. A fixed size takes precedence, so H616 retains
its 256-byte configuration without accessing FCC. The probe has already
enabled the clocks and deasserted reset before invoking the callback.
Leave the FIFO clock-control bits untouched.
Validate the depth before generating the RX trigger table or setting the
transmit load. The quarter-full threshold must be positive and the
FIFO-depth-minus-two threshold must fit in the byte-sized table and RX
trigger API. Report an invalid depth and fail probe instead of generating
zero or truncated thresholds.
Select this setup for the A523 compatible. Derive the transmit load and
RX threshold table from the discovered depth using the common sunxi
helpers. This handles the different FIFO sizes with one compatible and
one receive-trigger mapping.
Like H616, this integration has Allwinner-specific debug-divisor and
RS485 registers overlapping the generic DesignWare feature probes. Use
the common sunxi PIO setup, BUSY-safe integer divisor programming and
software RS485 handling. Keep the APB clock gate enabled during termios
updates with SKIP_SET_RATE.

Identify the Allwinner UART integration on all eight CPUX controllers.
The specific compatible selects FIFO-depth discovery through FCC and the
Allwinner receive-trigger mapping. Each controller supplies its own depth,
so the same compatible covers the different FIFO capacities.
Retain snps,dw-apb-uart as a fallback. The common SoC description supplies
these UART nodes to the A527 and T527 boards as well.
