[PATCH v4 00/14] serial: liteuart: add IRQ support

[Gabriel Somlo]

Add IRQ support to the LiteX LiteUART serial interface

Changes from v3:
  - picked up r/b Ilpo Järvinen on select subset of commits
  - rebased entire series on top of tty-next tree
  - 2/14 ("use bit number macros"): explicitly include <linux/bits.h>
  - 3/14 ("remove unused uart_ops stubs"): don't add gratuitous comment
    removed later on in the series
  - 12/14 ("add IRQ support for the RX path"): add shadow irq register
    to support polling mode and avoid reading hardware mmio irq register
    to learn which irq flags are enabled
    - this also simplifies both liteuart_interrupt() and liteuart_startup()
  - 13/14 ("add IRQ support for the TX path"):
    - removed superfluous curly braces from liteuart_interrupt()
    - simplified [start|stop]_tx() by using shadow irq register from 12/14
    - simplified liteuart_tx_chars() by rebasing on top of tty-next tree

> Changes from v2:
>   - further split out "separate RX loop from poll timer" into
>     dedicated patches highlighting additional changes explicitly:
>       - factoring out tty_flip_buffer_push() (6/14)
>       - ack only RX events in RX loop (7/14)
>       - pass constant flag to uart_insert_char() directly (8/14)
>       - fix variable types in rx loop (9/14)
>       - separating RX loop from poll timer (10/14)
>   - added patch (11/14) to move function definitions to a more
>     convenient location, making subsequent changes easier to read
>     in diff patch form.
>   - fixes and clarifications for RX path IRQ support patch (now 12/14):
>       - only return IRQ_HANDLED for RX events
>       - use pr_fmt() to improve style of irq setup error message
>       - remove unnecessary locking from around single-register access
>   - modify TX path to support both IRQ-mode and polling (13/14)
>   - move polling-only liteuart_putchar() behind same conditional
>     (CONFIG_SERIAL_LITEUART_CONSOLE) as the rest of the code that's
>     still using it.
>
> Changes from v1:
>   - split minor cosmetic changes out into individual patches
>     (1/3 became 1..5/7)
>   - patches 6/7 and 7/7 unchanged (used to be 2/3 and 3/3)
