serial: 8250_dw: Fix get_mctrl behaviour
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fixed behaviour of get_mctrl() serial driver function as documented in:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/serial/driver

Added device-tree properties 'dcd-override', 'dsr-override',
'cts-override', and 'ri-override' specific to the Synopsis 8250
DesignWare UART driver. Allows one to force Data Carrier Detect,
Clear To Send, and Data Set Ready signals to permanently be reported as
active. The Ring indicator can be forced to be reported as inactive.

It is possible that if modem control signalling is enabled on a port
that doesn't have these pins (e.g. - a simple two wire Tx/Rx port), the
driver can hang indefinitely waiting for the state to change. The new
DT properties allow the driver to ignore the state of these pins on
serial ports that don't support them, as recommended in the kernel
documentation.

- reg-io-width : the size (in bytes) of the IO accesses that should be
performed on the device. If this property is not present then single byte
accesses are used.
- dcd-override : Override the DCD modem status signal. This signal will always
be reported as active instead of being obtained from the modem status
register. Define this if your serial port does not use this pin.
