Subject: [PATCH v8 06/11] serial: 8250_dw: derive RX trigger thresholds from the FIFO depth
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2026 13:52:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105-submit-h616-uart-fifo-v1-v8-6-14024d2b184b@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105-submit-h616-uart-fifo-v1-v8-0-14024d2b184b@gmail.com>
DW_apb_uart uses receive thresholds of one byte, one quarter full,
one half full and two bytes below full. The generic 16550A table describes
these encodings only for a 16-byte FIFO. For example, the half-full setting
on a 64-byte DW FIFO is reported as eight bytes instead of 32, and a sysfs
request for 32 bytes selects the 62-byte encoding.
Build a per-port threshold table from the discovered FIFO depth in dwlib
and install receive-trigger callbacks for CPR-described FIFOs, including
LPSS ports. Keep the setup helper available to integrations which obtain
the depth without probing the optional DW registers. Validate that each
threshold is positive and representable before constructing the table.
Serialize FCR updates with termios and the port lock, acquire a runtime PM
reference before accessing the device, and propagate resume errors without
changing the shadow or hardware. Update only the trigger field so changing
the threshold preserves the FIFO contents.
The FCR mapping is documented in the DW_apb_uart databook, section 6,
FIFO Control Register. The existing default FCR encoding is unchanged.
