Every couple of months, someone sends a patch to fix:

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'serial_unlink_irq_chain':
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:1712:2: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

and they in turn get a NACK for their efforts, and are told that
their compiler is broken.  This has been going on since at least
the year 2008:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/24/433

Lets add a comment, so that subsequent patches don't get as far as
the maintainers or the mailing lists.

Tegra chips have 4 or 5 identical UART modules embedded. UARTs C..E have
their MODEM-control signals tied off to a static state. However UARTs A
and B can optionally route those signals to/from package pins, depending
on the exact pinmux configuration.

When these signals are not routed to package pins, false interrupts may
trigger either temporarily, or permanently, all while not showing up in
the IIR; it will read as NO_INT. This will eventually lead to the UART
IRQ being disabled due to unhandled interrupts. When this happens, the
kernel may print e.g.:

    irq 68: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

In order to prevent this, enable UART_BUG_NOMSR. This prevents
UART_IER_MSI from being enabled, which prevents the false interrupts
from triggering.

In practice, this is not needed under any of the following conditions:

* On Tegra chips after Tegra30, since the HW bug has apparently been
  fixed.

* On UARTs C..E since their MODEM control signals are tied to the correct
  static state which doesn't trigger the issue.

* On UARTs A..B if the MODEM control signals are routed out to package
  pins, since they will then carry valid signals.

However, we ignore these exceptions for now, since they are only relevant
if a board actually hooks up more than a 4-wire UART, and no currently
supported board does this. If we ever support a board that does, we can
refine the algorithm that enables UART_BUG_NOMSR to take those exceptions
into account, and/or read a flag from DT/... that indicates that the
board has hooked up and pinmux'd more than a 4-wire UART.

DMA engines usually expect the fifo trigger level to be
aligned with the burst size. It should not be changed even
with small baud rates. This will fix an issue with
Designware DMA engine where the data can not be transferred
over UART with lower baud rates then 2400.

This reverts commit cfcec52e.

This regresses a longstanding behaviour on X86 systems, which end up with
PCI serial ports moving between ttyS4 and ttyS0 when you bisect to opposite
sides of this commit, resulting in the need to constantly modify the console
setting in order to bisect across it.

Please revert, we can work on solving this for ARM platforms in a less
disruptive way.

In 3.7 the 8250 module name was changed unintentionally from 8250 to
8250_core by commit 835d844d
(8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe). We then had to
re-introduce the old module options to ensure the old good
8250.nr_uart & co. still work. This can be done only by a very dirty
hack and we did it in f2b8dfd9
(serial: 8250: Keep 8250.<xxxx> module options functional after driver
rename).

That is so damn ugly so that I decided to revert to the old module
name and deprecate the new 8250_core options present in 3.7 and 3.8
only. The deprecation will happen in the following patch.

Note that this patch changes the hack above to support "8250_core.*",
because we now have "8250.*" natively.

With commit 835d844d (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe), the
8250 driver was renamed to 8250_core.  This means any existing usage of
the 8259.<xxxx> module parameters or as a kernel command line switch is
now broken, as the 8250_core driver doesn't parse options belonging to
something called "8250".

To solve this, we redefine the module options in a dummy function using
a redefined MODULE_PARAM_PREFX when built into the kernel.  In the case
where we're building as a module, we provide an alias to the old 8250
name.  The dummy function prevents compiler errors due to global variable
redefinitions that happen as part of the module_param_ macro expansions.

This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte
interrupt mode results in too many interrupts.  The UART_CAP_HFIFO

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.

Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.

IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.

Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.
