[PATCH 3/4] ARM: tegra: uncompress.h: Choose a UART at runtime

Stephen Warren swarren at nvidia.com
Tue Jan 3 17:25:19 EST 2012


With this change we automatically detect which UART to use for
for printing during decompression. The detection involves coordination
with the bootloader: it's expected that the bootloader will leave a
'D' (for [D]ebug) in the UART scratchpad register for whichever UART we
should use for debugging.

If we don't find any such UART, we fall back to the UART that was
specified during config time: CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UART_XXX.

As a side effect of this change, uncompress debug messages will work
if you've specified CONFIG_TEGRA_DEBUG_UART_NONE, provided the
bootloader obeys the protocol.

This change is in line with what is documented in
Documentation/arm/Booting.

Other approaches considered:
* Hardcode based on machine ID (as many other ARM boards do).
  OK, but nice to not have yet another place to add per-board
  code. Better to have bootloader parse device tree and pass us
  this info.
* Check for TXE bit (like SA1110). Nice (and doesn't require
  a bootloader change), but a little less explicit. Also: if
  bootloader (for some reason) uses another UART, it needs to
  remember to turn it off before jumping to the kernel or we may
  print to it. NOTE: adapting this patch to check TXE too would
  be easy if desired.
