Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] serial: 8250_pnp: Support configurable reg shift property

From: Guanbing Huang <[email protected]>

The 16550a serial port based on the ACPI table requires obtaining the
reg-shift attribute. In the ACPI scenario, If the reg-shift property
is not configured like in DTS, the 16550a serial driver cannot read or
write controller registers properly during initialization.

To address the issue of configuring the reg-shift property, the
__uart_read_properties() universal interface is called to implement it.
Adaptation of pnp devices is done in the __uart_read_properties() function.

Guanbing Huang (3):
pnp: Add dev_is_pnp() macro
serial: 8250_port: Add support of pnp irq to __uart_read_properties()
serial: 8250_pnp: Support configurable reg shift property

Btw, your cover letter is not chained in the same mail thread, be sure you run

git format-patch -v4 --thread --cover-letter ...

to have proper versioning and cover letter to be chained with the rest.

Thank you!

I have a few comments, mostly cosmetic except a couple in the last patch.
Most likely the v4 will be good enough for merging.
