I'll give it a shot, but first I have some comments on your other patches. Btw, it would be nice if patches that affect more or less architecture-independent drivers were posted to linux-kernel (added to Cc.) Also, it would be easier to review if you posted just one patch per e-mail. I'm going to cut & paste a bit from your attachments. > 4) For RT only: atmel_serial_irqf_nodelay.patch can be applied > anywhere after 1 and 2 I'll ignore this for now. > +#define lread(port) __raw_readl(port) > +#define lwrite(v, port) __raw_writel(v, port) Why is this necessary, and what does 'l' stand for? > - struct uart_port uart; /* uart */ > - struct clk *clk; /* uart clock */ > - unsigned short suspended; /* is port suspended? */ > - int break_active; /* break being received */ > + struct uart_port uart; /* uart */ > + struct clk *clk; /* uart clock */ > + unsigned short suspended; /* is port suspended? */ > + int break_active; /* break being received */ Looks like you're adding one or more spaces before each TAB here.

The compiler will do it automatically if it has only one caller, and if it at some point gets several callers, we might not want to inline it after all. > +{ > + struct atmel_uart_port *atmel_port = (struct atmel_uart_port *)port; > + > + /* Interrupt receive */ > + if (pending & ATMEL_US_RXRDY) > + atmel_rx_chars(port); > + else if (pending & ATMEL_US_RXBRK) { > + /* > + * End of break detected.

Why not simply use #if 0 and kill all the C++ comments? That said, I don't understand what "TODO" means in this context.

If you're having trouble moving &(atmel_ports... onto the same line as atmel_init_port, please consider removing the redundant parentheses.

Why is it necessary with two tasklets? > +struct atmel_uart_char { > + unsigned int status; > + unsigned int overrun; > + unsigned int ch; > + unsigned int flg; > +}; Hmm. 16 bytes per char is a bit excessive, isn't it? How about struct atmel_uart_char { u16 ch; u16 status; }; where ch is the received character (up to 9 bits) and status is the lowest 16 bits of the status register? > +#define ATMEL_SERIAL_RINGSIZE 1024 > + > +struct atmel_uart_ring { > + unsigned int head; > + unsigned int tail; > + unsigned int count; > + struct atmel_uart_char data[ATMEL_SERIAL_RINGSIZE]; > +}; Why not use struct circ_buf? Why do you need "count"? Ok, that's all for now. I'm going to take a closer look at the DMA patch and hopefully figure out why it isn't working on AVR32.
