[PATCH 3/4] TTY: add support for uart_slave devices.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Sun May 10 2015 - 22:00:16 EST


A "uart slave" is a device permanently connected via UART.
Such a device may need its own driver, e.g. for powering
it up on tty open and powering it down on tty release.

When a device is connected to a UART by a 'standard' bus, such as
RS-232, signaling for power control typically uses "DTR". When the
connection is permanent, as is common on "embedded" boards, separate
signaling may be needed and this requires a separate driver.

uart-slave is a new bus-type which drivers can be written and devices
created.

A "uart slave" device is declared as a child of the uart in
device-tree:

&uart1 {
bluetooth {
compatible = "wi2wi,w2cbw003";
vdd-supply = <&vaux4>;
};
};

This device will be inserted in the driver-model tree between the uart
and the tty.

The uart-slave driver can replace any of the tty_operations functions
so a call by the tty can be intercepted before being handled by the
uart.

When the tty port is initialized, the uart_slave device is created and
waits for a driver to be bound to it. Once this happens the tty
device, which was previously initialized, will be added. This slave
is now considered "finalized".

Any "finalized" slaves will be removed when the tty device is
unregistered. e.g. by destruct_tty_driver.
While slaves are non-finalized they hold a reference to the tty driver
to prevent destruct_tty_driver from being called, as it cannot find
and free slave devices.

+ * wired to a UART.
+ * A uart-slave has two particular roles.
+ * Firstly it can intercept any tty_operations to provide extra control

+ * in order to power the device up and down. It might intercept
+ * "hangup" to toggle a reset line on the device.
+ *
+ * Secondly it appears as a parent of the tty in the device model, so
+ * that any attributes it presents are visible to udev when the tty
+ * is added. This allows udev to start appropriate handlers such as
+ * hciattach or inputattach.
+ *
+ * uart-slave devices must be described in devicetree as a child node
+ * of the node which described the attaching UART.
+ *
+ * If such a child is present, the tty device will not be registered
+ * until the slave device is fully probed and initialized.
