There is already port type and s3c24xx_serial_drv_data, no need for third structure (kind of similar to tries of Tamseel Shams in recent patches). It's too much. Instead, differentiate by port type or prepare own set of uart_ops if it's really different (like you did with startup op).
This ties into little changes in a bunch of places, so separate uart_ops
callbacks for every one of those would end up duplicating a lot of code :(
That list is just used to map the port type to something that only
represents the type of IRQs, but its only real purpose for the
indirection is so I can do "== IRQ_DISCRETE" in some codepaths to mean
"not apple or S3C6400".
e.g.
if (s3c24xx_irq_type(port) == IRQ_DISCRETE)
free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);
Would have to become
if (port->type != IRQ_S3C6400 && port->type != IRQ_APPLE)
free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);
or
switch (port->type) {
case IRQ_S3C6400:
case IRQ_APPLE:
break;
default:
free_irq(ourport->rx_irq, ourport);
}
Which one do you prefer?
Aside: Marc didn't like introducing new port types into uapi, but if we
don't do that then we need a "real" port type in drv_data that isn't the
uapi-exposed port or something along those lines, with a separate enum
containing all the true port type values for that.

/* Startup sequence is different for s3c64xx and higher SoC's */ - if (s3c24xx_serial_has_interrupt_mask(port)) + case IRQ_S3C6400: s3c24xx_serial_ops.startup = s3c64xx_serial_startup;Don't overwrite specific ops. It's difficult to see then which ops are being used. Instead create a new set of uart_ops matching the needs.
s3c24xx_serial_ops was already doing that here, but I can move that to a a separate uart_ops too. Ack on all the other comments, I'll make the changes for v2. -- Hector Martin (marcan@marcan.st) Public Key: https://mrcn.st/pub
