One limitation is currently the lack of an IAP140 clk driver. Patch 4/4 works
around that for UART0 with a fixed-clock.
The PXA1928 clock driver should be close to what you need. They are
supposed to be very similar.
Where do you see that in mainline? Not in drivers/clk/pxa/ at least. I'm
certain the acorn-marvell tree has a PXA1908 clk driver somewhere, too,
I just haven't ported it yet.
drivers/clk/mmp/clk-of-pxa1928.c

I ported/rewrote that from Marvell's 3.10 vendor tree.

You should not use the pxa serial driver. AFAICT, it was separate to
add DMA support, but now the base 8250 driver supports DMA. The base
8250 driver works with the PXA1928 and should also work with the
PXA1908.
Do you personally have one? I didn't spot a pxa1928 DT in mainline.
Yes. It never got released and got abandoned. I got several drivers
cleaned up to support it and the clock code in before that happened. I
had a in-progress DRM driver too. I was debugging why some monitors
worked and others didn't when I stopped working on it. I think the
board you are working on has the same ADV7533?

It's all up on my Linaro tree:
https://git.linaro.org/people/rob.herring/linux.git
So, by my reading both 8250_of.c and 8250_pxa.c list "mrvl,mmp-uart" for
the platform driver. Is that really intentional?
Humm, well I added support in commit 6ad991b699b4e to of_serial.c and
then it looks like it got copied to 8250_pxa.c recently. Not sure if
that really made sense or not. We should remove one of them.
8250_pxa.c looks fairly pointless to me. Turning a clock on/off in
resume/suspend is already supported by 8250_of.c (which doesn't have
the bug of turning off the console's clock in suspend). The only other
thing is the errata in serial_pxa_dl_write.
What the early_pxa earlycon does is set the register shift and then
reuse the 8250 core - that looks perfectly valid to me. Are you possibly
mixing that up with the non-8250 pxa serial driver that I am already
suppressing one patch earlier?
The earlycon core already sets up reg-shift for you.

I added earlycon support in commit a4c639b04f301d. I used "ns16650a"
as a fallback compatible string, so there's not an explicit PXA/MMP
compatible string there.
While at it, are you aware that we have two drivers, one pxa and one
mmp, that bind to "marvell,pdma-1.0"? That seemed wrong to me, too.
Yeah, it was drivers/tty/serial/pxa.c that I was thinking of. I was
incorrectly thinking 8250_pxa.c was that one.
