Subject: [PATCH v4 4/7] serial: core: make sure RS485 cannot be enabled when it is not supported

Some uart drivers specify a rs485_config() function and then decide later
to disable RS485 support for some reason (e.g. imx and ar933).

In these cases userspace may be able to activate RS485 via TIOCSRS485
nevertheless, since in uart_set_rs485_config() an existing rs485_config()
function indicates that RS485 is supported.

Make sure that this is not longer possible by checking the uarts
rs485_supported.flags instead and bailing out if SER_RS485_ENABLED is not
set.

Furthermore instead of returning an empty structure return -ENOTTY if the
RS485 configuration is requested via TIOCGRS485 but RS485 is not supported.
This has a small impact on userspace visibility but it is consistent with
the -ENOTTY error for TIOCGRS485.

Fixes: 55e18c6b6d42 ("serial: imx: Remove serial_rs485 sanitization")

Subject: [PATCH v4 6/7] serial: omap: do not override settings for RS485 support

In serial_omap_rs485() RS485 support may be deactivated due to a missing
RTS GPIO. This is done by nullifying the ports rs485_supported struct.
After that however the serial_omap_rs485_supported struct is assigned to
the same structure unconditionally, which results in an unintended
reactivation of RS485 support.
Fix this by callling serial_omap_rs485() after the assignment of
rs485_supported.

Subject: [PATCH v4 7/7] serial: 8250_exar: Set missing rs485_supported flag

The UART supports an auto-RTS mode in which the RTS pin is automatically
activated during transmission. So mark this mode as being supported even
if RTS is not controlled by the driver but the UART.

Also the serial core expects now at least one of both modes rts-on-send or
rts-after-send to be supported. This is since during sanitization
unsupported flags are deleted from a RS485 configuration set by userspace.
However if the configuration ends up with both flags unset, the core prints
a warning since it considers such a configuration invalid (see
uart_sanitize_serial_rs485()).

This patch is only required if "serial: core: fix sanitizing check for RTS
settings" is applied, which is also part of this series.
Therefore it lacks a "Fixes:" tag.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/7] serial: core: fix sanitizing check for RTS settings

Among other things uart_sanitize_serial_rs485() tests the sanity of the RTS
settings in a RS485 configuration that has been passed by userspace.
If RTS-on-send and RTS-after-send are both set or unset the configuration
is adjusted and RTS-after-send is disabled and RTS-on-send enabled.

This however makes only sense if both RTS modes are actually supported by
the driver.

With commit be2e2cb1d281 ("serial: Sanitize rs485_struct") the code does
take the driver support into account but only checks if one of both RTS
modes are supported. This may lead to the errorneous result of RTS-on-send
being set even if only RTS-after-send is supported.

Fix this by changing the implemented logic: First clear all unsupported
flags in the RS485 configuration, then adjust an invalid RTS setting by
taking into account which RTS mode is supported.

Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] serial: core, imx: do not set RS485 enabled if it is not supported

If the imx driver cannot support RS485 it sets the ports rs485_supported
structure to NULL. But it still calls uart_get_rs485_mode() which may set
the RS485_ENABLED flag nevertheless.

This may lead to an attempt to configure RS485 even if it is not supported
when the flag is evaluated in uart_configure_port() at port startup.

Avoid this by bailing out of uart_get_rs485_mode() if the RS485_ENABLED
flag is not supported by the caller.

With this fix a check for RTS availability is now obsolete in the imx
driver, since it can not evaluate to true any more. Remove this check, too.

There's a lot of fuzz for this series against my current tree, so much
so I don't feel comfortable taking it right now. Can you resend it
after 6.7-rc1 is out and you have rebased it against that? If these
really are all bugfixes, we can still get them into 6.7-final then.

thanks,

Yes, no problem, will do so.
