From: Martin Sperl <redacted>

This patch series adds the bcm2835aux uart driver, which is created
as a wrapper arround the 8250 driver (based on recommendations by
Stephen Warren)

The device tree patch itself is not included yet because this
patch requires the clk-bcm2835aux driver, which is right now only
in clk-next, but should become available with 4.5.

it doesn't make sense without the device tree patch. IMHO it's okay as long
as
you point out the dependency and set the node status to disable.

I agree in principle, but it is the same as with the spi-bcm2835aux driver,
where I had provided a patch to the dt, that still has not been applied
yet, but with the driver itself already in the kernel.

Please provide a new version, because it won't apply anymore. It increase the
chance of more testing.

Also the reorganisation of the dt to support the bcm2836 makes this
another moving target.

The other concern is that we would need to use defines included
from "dt-bindings/clock/bcm2835aux.h? and without those the dt will not
work.

AFAIK there has been a discussion about such a problem.

For the record: this is what would be required:
uart1: uart at 7e215040 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-uart";
reg = <0x7e215040 0x40>;
interrupts = <1 29>;
clocks = <&aux BCM2835_AUX_CLOCK_UART>;
status = "disabled";
};

I can respin the whole patchset to include this as well if you tell me to.

I think we should wait for a rpi maintainer's response about that. No need to
hurry.
