In case they are repetitive via the code, introduce either a temporary variable (in case it scoped to one function only), or define it as a constant.I'm just moving this code; as far as I can tell this is a timeout value (so just an integer), but I don't know if there is any special meaning to 0xf here. Note that this codepath is for *non-Apple* chips, as the Apple ones don't even have this field (at least not here).
I agree here with Hector. Andi, you propose here unrelated change (which without documentation might not be doable by Hector).

+ irqreturn_t ret = IRQ_NONE;Redundant. You may return directly.What if both interrupts are pending?quoted
No IO serialization?There is no DMA on the Apple variants (as far as I know; it's not implemented anyway), so there is no need for serializing IO with DMA. In any case, dealing with that is the DMA code's job, the interrupt handler shouldn't need to care. If you mean serializing IO with the IRQ: CPU-wise, I would hope that's the irqchip's job (AIC does this with a readl on the event). If you mean ensuring all writes are complete (i.e. posted write issue), on the Apple chips everything is non-posted as explained in the previous patches.quoted
Extra blank line (check your entire series for a such)Thanks, noted. I'll check the declaration blocks in other patches.quoted

+ ourport->rx_enabled = 1; + ourport->tx_enabled = 0;How are these protected against race?The serial core should be holding the port mutex for pretty much every call into the driver, as far as I can tell.quoted

I'll give it a shot.quoted

+#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_APPLEWhy? Wouldn't you like the one kernel to work on many SoCs?This *adds* Apple support, it is not mutually exclusive with all the other SoCs. You can enable all of those options and get a driver that works on all of them. This is the same pattern used throughout the driver for all the other Samsung variants. There is no reason to have Apple SoC support in the samsung driver if the rest of the kernel doesn't have Apple SoC support either, of course.
How ifdef on ARCH_APLLE makes it non-working on many SoCs? All new platforms are multi... The true question is - do the ifdefs in the code make it more difficult to read/review? Best regards, Krzysztof
