Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] serial: sc16is7xx: add support for EXAR XR20M1172 UART

From: Konstantin Pugin <[email protected]>

XR20M1172 register set is mostly compatible with SC16IS762, but it has
a support for additional division rates of UART with special DLD register.
So, add handling this register by appropriate devicetree bindings.

:) so this should simply be:

return s->devtype == &xr20m1172_devtype;

Could you do this instead:
unsigned int divisor = sc16is7xx_has_dld(port->dev) ? 4 : 16;

..

uart_get_baud_rate(..., port->uartclk / divisor);


I am not sure the above warrants for a new version. Just in case you are
sending one.

I do not think this is a requirement for a new version. I need to
wait. Some folks want to test my patches with their hardware)))

You should not top-post!

..

Yes, it would be good them to provide a formal Tested-by tag, then you may send
a v6 with the tags and Jiri's comments being addressed. Btw, I prefer to have
them addressed now to eliminate unneeded churn in the future.

You broke the indentation (as it has mixed TABs and spaces).

No need to rewrite all of them, just add your line as

XR20M1172 (Exar)

(Note, this needs to be fixed, hence it justifies a new version of the patch.)

Besides what Jiri noticed, this has been indented one TAB too much.

I especially want to avoid this construction, because it will lead to
idea than we does not have other
DLD-capable UARTS, which is simply not true, there is, for example,
XR20M1280 UART, which has roughly the same register set
(https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/445109/EXAR/XR20M1280.html).
I simply do not have other devices, so I do not
want to risk sending untested patches upstream.
