When using the compatible field to infer the fifosize of the
controller, the code looks as listed below.

struct s3c24xx_uart_dt_compat_data {
        unsigned int fifosize;
        struct s3c2410_uartcfg *uartcfg;
};

static struct s3c2410_uartcfg s5pv310_uart_defcfg = {
        .ucon   = 0x3c5,
        .ufcon  = 0x111,
        .flags  = NO_NEED_CHECK_CLKSRC,
        .has_fracval = 1,
};

static struct s3c24xx_uart_dt_compat_data s5pv210_compat_fs256 = {
        .fifosize = 256;
        .uartcfg = &s5pv310_uart_defcfg;
};

static struct s3c24xx_uart_dt_compat_data s5pv210_compat_fs64 = {
        .fifosize = 64;
        .uartcfg = &s5pv310_uart_defcfg;
};

static struct s3c24xx_uart_dt_compat_data s5pv210_compat_fs16 = {
        .fifosize = 16;
        .uartcfg = &s5pv310_uart_defcfg;
};

static const struct of_device_id s5pv210_uart_dt_match[] = {
        { .compatible = "samsung,s5pv310-uart-fs256", .data =
&s5pv210_compat_fs256 },
        { .compatible = "samsung,s5pv310-uart-fs64", .data =
s5pv210_compat_fs64 },
        { .compatible = "samsung,s5pv310-uart-fs16", .data =
s5pv210_compat_fs16 },
        {},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, s5pv210_uart_match);


This requires a new structure definition and additional data in the
driver. So I still prefer to use a property in the uart device node to
define the fifosize of the controller.

What would you be your preference? Or is there a better way to obtain
the fifosize?

Thanks,
Thomas.
