serial: SH_SCI: improve "DMA support" prompt

2026-03-04T12:19:43Z

[ Upstream commit 93bb95a11238d66a4c9aa6eabf9774b073a5895c ] Having a prompt of "DMA support" suddenly appear during a "make oldconfig" can be confusing. Add a little helpful text to the prompt message. Fixes: 73a19e4c0301 ("serial: sh-sci: Add DMA support.")

serial: imx: change SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE to bool

2026-03-04T12:19:43Z

[ Upstream commit 79527d86ba91c2d9354832d19fd12b3baa66bd10 ] SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE is a build option for the imx driver (SERIAL_IMX). It does not build a separate console driver file, so it can't be built as a module since it isn't built at all. Change the Kconfig symbol from tristate to bool and update the help text accordingly.

serial: stm32: allow selecting console when the driver is module

commit cc4d900d0d6d8dd5c41832a93ff3cfa629a78f9a upstream. Console can be enabled on the UART compile as module. Change dependency to allow console mode when the driver is built as module.

serial: max310x: implement I2C support

2024-03-15T14:48:23Z

[ Upstream commit 2e1f2d9a9bdbe12ee475c82a45ac46a278e8049a ] I2C implementation on this chip has a few key differences compared to SPI, as described in previous patches. * extended register space access needs no extra logic * slave address is used to select which UART to communicate with To accommodate these differences, add an I2C interface config, set the RevID register address and implement an empty method for setting the GlobalCommand register, since no special handling is needed for the extended register space. To handle the port-specific slave address, create an I2C dummy device for each port, except the base one (UART0), which is expected to be the one specified in firmware, and create a regmap for each I2C device. Add minimum and maximum slave addresses to each devtype for sanity checking. Also, use a separate regmap config with no write_flag_mask, since I2C has a R/W bit in its slave address, and set the max register to the address of the RevID register, since the extended register space needs no extra logic. Finally, add the I2C driver.

tty: serial: imx: enable earlycon by default if IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is enabled

2020-11-06T16:23:49Z

Since 699cc4dfd140 (tty: serial: imx: add imx earlycon driver), the earlycon part of imx serial is a separate driver and isn't necessarily enabled anymore when the console is enabled. This causes users to loose the earlycon functionality when upgrading their kenrel configuration via oldconfig. Enable earlycon by default when IMX_SERIAL_CONSOLE is enabled.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Olof Johansson: "SoC changes, a substantial part of this is cleanup of some of the older platforms that used to have a bunch of board files. In particular: - Remove non-DT i.MX platforms that haven't seen activity in years, it's time to remove them. - A bunch of cleanup and removal of platform data for TI/OMAP platforms, moving over to genpd for power/reset control (yay!) - Major cleanup of Samsung S3C24xx and S3C64xx platforms, moving them closer to multiplatform support (not quite there yet, but getting close). There are a few other changes too, smaller fixlets, etc. For new platform support, the primary ones are: - New SoC: Hisilicon SD5203, ARM926EJ-S platform. - Cpufreq support for i.MX7ULP" * tag 'armsoc-soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc: (121 commits) ARM: mstar: Select MStar intc ARM: stm32: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones ARM: debug: add UART early console support for SD5203 ARM: hisi: add support for SD5203 SoC ARM: omap3: enable off mode automatically clk: imx: imx35: Remove mx35_clocks_init() clk: imx: imx31: Remove mx31_clocks_init() clk: imx: imx27: Remove mx27_clocks_init() ARM: imx: Remove unused definitions ARM: imx35: Retrieve the IIM base address from devicetree ARM: imx3: Retrieve the AVIC base address from devicetree ARM: imx3: Retrieve the CCM base address from devicetree ARM: imx31: Retrieve the IIM base address from devicetree ARM: imx27: Retrieve the CCM base address from devicetree ARM: imx27: Retrieve the SYSCTRL base address from devicetree ARM: s3c64xx: bring back notes from removed debug-macro.S ARM: s3c24xx: fix Wunused-variable warning on !MMU ARM: samsung: fix PM debug build with DEBUG_LL but !MMU MAINTAINERS: mark linux-samsung-soc list non-moderated ARM: imx: Remove remnant board file support pieces ...

Samsung S3C24xx and S3C64xx machine code cleanup for v5.10 Big cleanup for the Samsung S3C24xx and S3C64xx platforms, although it also touches files shared with S5Pv210 and Exynos. This is mostly Arnd Bergmann work which Krzysztof Kozlowski took over, rebased and polished. The goal is to cleanup, merge and finally make the Samsung S3C24xx and S3C64xx architectures multiplatform. The multiplatform did not happen yet here - just cleaning up and merging into one arch/arm/mach-s3c directory. However this is step forward for multiplatform or at least to keep this code still maintainable. This pulls also branch with changes for Samsung SoC sound drivers from broonie/sound because the cleanups there were part of this series and all further patches depend on them. * tag 'samsung-soc-s3c-5.10' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/krzk/linux: (62 commits) ARM: s3c: Avoid naming clash of S3C24xx and S3C64xx timer setup ARM: s3c: Cleanup from old plat-samsung include ARM: s3c: make headers local if possible ARM: s3c: move into a common directory ARM: s3c24xx: stop including mach/hardware.h from mach/io.h cpufreq: s3c24xx: move low-level clk reg access into platform code cpufreq: s3c2412: use global s3c2412_cpufreq_setrefresh ARM: s3c: remove cpufreq header dependencies cpufreq: s3c24xx: split out registers fbdev: s3c2410fb: remove mach header dependency ARM: s3c24xx: bast: avoid irq_desc array usage ARM: s3c24xx: spi: avoid hardcoding fiq number in driver ARM: s3c24xx: include mach/irqs.h where needed ARM: s3c24xx: move s3cmci pinctrl handling into board files ARM: s3c24xx: move iis pinctrl config into boards ARM: s3c24xx: move spi fiq handler into platform ARM: s3c: adc: move header to linux/soc/samsung ARM: s3c24xx: move irqchip driver back into platform ARM: s3c24xx: move regs-spi.h into spi driver ARM: s3c64xx: remove mach/hardware.h ...
