Subject: [PATCH V5 0/5] The UART driver compatible with

Using the common Clock code to describe the UART baud rate
clock makes it easier for the UART driver to be compatible
with the baud rate requirements of the UART IP on different
meson chips. Add Meson S4 SoC compatible.

Yu Tu (5):
dt-bindings: serial: meson: Drop legacy compatible.
tty: serial: meson: Move request the register region.
tty: serial: meson: Using the common clock code describe.
tty: serial: meson: Make some bit of the REG5 register writable.
tty: serial: meson: Added S4 SOC compatibility.

V4 -> V5: Change error format.
V3 -> V4: Change CCF to describe the UART baud rate clock as discussed
in the email.
V2 -> V3: add compatible = "amlogic,meson-gx-uart". Because it must change
the DTS before it can be deleted
V1 -> V2: Use CCF to describe the UART baud rate clock.Make some changes as
discussed in the email

Subject: [PATCH V5 1/5] dt-bindings: serial: meson: Drop legacy compatible.

Deprecated, don't use anymore because legacy amlogic,meson-gx-uart
compatible. Don't differentiate between GXBB, GXL and G12A which
have different revisions of the UART IP. So it's split into
GXBB,GXL and G12A.

Subject: [PATCH V5 2/5] tty: serial: meson: Move request the register region.

This simplifies resetting the UART controller during probe
and will make it easier to integrate the common clock code
which will require the registers at probe time as well.

Subject: [PATCH V5 4/5] tty: serial: meson: Make some bit of the REG5 register writable.

The UART_REG5 register defaults to 0. The console port is set in
ROMCODE. But other UART ports default to 0, so make bit24 and
bit[26,27] writable so that the UART can choose a more
appropriate clock.

And you are *also* switching devm_request_mem_region+devm_ioremap into
devm_ioremap_resource without even noting it here. It should've been
done in a separate patch.

And no, do not resend a new version in the next few days. Having v5 in
20 days is a bit too much. Give maintainers and reviewers some more
space to express themselves.

Please reformulate that ^^^ -- I cannot make any sense of it. And avoid

Why is this OK? We didn't use to reset it.

And why is this not done in a separate patch?

This is cryptic and duplicates the variable on the stack. Why not expand
the macro and delete it then?

You are breaking compatibility. If your dts is updated to use the new
compatible, then a kernel without the change will not work anymore. It
worked before without understanding the changes you are making. It
should continue to. A compatible value like this would accomplish what
you want:

"amlogic,meson-gxbb-uart", "amlogic,meson-gx-uart", "amlogic,meson-ao-uart"

A new kernel will match on "amlogic,meson-gxbb-uart" or
"amlogic,meson-gx-uart" depending if the dtb is updated or not. An old
kernel will continue to match on "amlogic,meson-gx-uart".

If you are going to go breaking things, the power domain distinction
in the compatible is odd...

I can change it as you suggest。
The switching devm_request_mem_region+devm_ioremap into
devm_ioremap_resource in a separate patch.

I am so sorry if PATCH is sent too frequently, which has disturbed you.
How often should I send it? Or under what circumstances can I send the
next version?

This change simply optimizes the code. Because the meson_uart_reset
