Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] serial: core: Add uart_console_port()
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 19:33:09 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112-vt8500-serial-cleanup-v2-1-36b258e0c0dd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112-vt8500-serial-cleanup-v2-0-36b258e0c0dd@gmail.com>
Console ->setup() and ->write() callbacks need the port behind
co->index. Most drivers keep a static port array just for that lookup,
and the few that skip it read the uart_driver state table, which the
header reserves for the core.
Provide the lookup next to uart_console_device(), which already relies
on co->data pointing at the uart_driver. The core links a port into the
state table before registering its console and unregisters the console
before unlinking the port, so the result stays valid in both callbacks.
