[PATCH RFC 3/3] MIPS: AR7: ensure the port type's FCR value is used

From: Jonas Gorski <jonas.gorski@gmail.com>
Date: 2017-10-29 15:29:07
Also in: linux-mips
Subsystem: mips, the rest · Maintainers: Thomas Bogendoerfer, Linus Torvalds

Since commit aef9a7bd9b67 ("serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt
trigger I/F of FIFO buffers"), the port's default FCR value isn't used
in serial8250_do_set_termios anymore, but copied over once in
serial8250_config_port and then modified as needed.

Unfortunately, serial8250_config_port will never be called if the port
is shared between kernel and userspace, and the port's flag doesn't have
UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF, which would trigger a serial8250_config_port as well.

This causes garbled output from userspace:

[    5.220000] random: procd urandom read with 49 bits of entropy available
ers
   [kee

Fix this by forcing it to be configured on boot, resulting in the
expected output:

[    5.250000] random: procd urandom read with 50 bits of entropy available

I'm not sure if this is just AR7's issue, or if this points to a general
issue for UARTs used as kernel console and login console with the "fixed"
commit.
