[PATCH v2] ARM: bcm: Support BCMBCA debug UART

Linus Walleij linus.walleij at linaro.org
Mon Sep 23 12:49:21 PDT 2024


The debug UART on the BCMBCA SoCs are in a different place
than on the other BCM platforms. Support this with a static
map when debugging is explicitly configured.

Right now I can only test this on BCM6846 so this is the
only compatible I list for the debug boardfile, but other
compatibles from the BCMBCA family can be added to get
LL_DEBUG support.

I could not get debug messaged from LL_DEBUG UARTS
(such as decompress....) and it was really hard to
do early debug without that.
---
Changes in v2:
- Drop patch 1, it's not needed and was just based on my own
  incompetence.
- Rework the UART0 support such that it is generic for all
  BCMBCA platforms and the static map is only compiled in when
  explicitly using LL_DEBUG.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240917-bcm-arm-bcm6846-v1-0-236e29661f4c@linaro.org
