tty: serial core: decouple pm states from ACPI

2013-01-16T05:52:23Z

The serial core is using power states lifted from ACPI for no good reason. Remove this reference from the documentation and alter all users to use an enum specific to the serial core instead, and define it in .

firmware: remove computone driver firmware and documentation

2012-08-16T19:31:18Z

The only Computone support left in the kernel is in drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pci.c. CONFIG_COMPUTONE is no longer a valid option. Therefore, remove firmware, documentation, and the last vestiges of this driver.

serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.

2012-05-17T23:02:14Z

The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20 year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's software demands on CPU and memory resources. This commit removes the MCA specific 8250 UART code. Cc: Alan Cox Cc: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.conf

2012-03-30T23:03:15Z

Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the context. There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4 kernels that are being removed.

RS485: fix inconsistencies in the meaning of some variables

2011-11-15T20:13:44Z

The crisv10.c and the atmel_serial.c serial drivers intepret the fields of the serial_rs485 structure in a different way. In particular, crisv10.c uses SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND for the voltage of the RTS pin; atmel_serial.c, instead, uses these values to know if a delay must be set before and after sending. This patch makes the usage of these variables consistent across all drivers and fixes the Documentation as well. From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be used to set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the delay will be understood by looking only at the value of delay_rts_before_send and delay_rts_after_send.

atmel_serial: RS485: receiving enabled when sending data

2011-08-24T22:27:59Z

By default the atmel_serial driver in RS485 mode disables receiving data until all data in the send buffer has been sent. This flag allows to receive data even whilst sending data. Signed-off-by: Bernhard Roth Signed-off-by: Claudio Scordino Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
