Kernel-3.10.0-957.el7_of-serial

  • UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)

Required properties:

  • compatible : one of:
    • “ns8250”
    • “ns16450”
    • “ns16550a”
    • “ns16550”
    • “ns16750”
    • “ns16850”
    • “nvidia,tegra20-uart”
    • “nxp,lpc3220-uart”
    • “ibm,qpace-nwp-serial”
    • “altr,16550-FIFO32”
    • “altr,16550-FIFO64”
    • “altr,16550-FIFO128”
    • “serial” if the port type is unknown.
  • reg : offset and length of the register set for the device.
  • interrupts : should contain uart interrupt.
  • clock-frequency : the input clock frequency for the UART
    or
    clocks phandle to refer to the clk used as per Documentation/devicetree
    /bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt

Optional properties:

  • current-speed : the current active speed of the UART.
  • reg-offset : offset to apply to the mapbase from the start of the registers.
  • reg-shift : quantity to shift the register offsets by.
  • reg-io-width : the size (in bytes) of the IO accesses that should be
    performed on the device. There are some systems that require 32-bit
    accesses to the UART (e.g. TI davinci).
  • used-by-rtas : set to indicate that the port is in use by the OpenFirmware
    RTAS and should not be registered.
  • no-loopback-test: set to indicate that the port does not implements loopback
    test mode
  • fifo-size: the fifo size of the UART.
  • auto-flow-control: one way to enable automatic flow control support. The
    driver is allowed to detect support for the capability even without this
    property.

Example:

uart@80230000 {
    compatible = "ns8250";
    reg = <0x80230000 0x100>;
    clock-frequency = <3686400>;
    interrupts = <10>;
    reg-shift = <2>;
};
