serial-rs485.rst asks include/uapi/linux/serial.h for both struct serial_rs485 and uart_get_rs485_mode(). The function and its kernel-doc comment live in drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c, so the directive has never rendered it and the section shows only the structure. Add a second directive for serial_core.c.

43 hoursmtd: spi-nor: Refactor Read Status/Write Status supportMiquel Raynal
SPI NOR has a lot of history. Additions over additions, the subtleties of the JESD216 specification, their implementations by the manufacturers and the hardware mistakes have generated a gigantic maze, let's try to understand what is really needed. The specification explains the QE (Quad Enable) bitfield as describing where the bit to enable the Quad capability is, but also how to set it. Unfortunately, the specification is not precise about what opcodes are supported exactly in all the cases. There is an introduction that basically states: - Opcode 0x05 reads SR1 - Opcode 0x35 reads SR2 - Opcode 0x01 writes SR1, and then SR2 if another byte is written Then the bitfield, among indicating the location of the QE bit, may indicate: - Reading SR1 and SR2 in one operation is not possible (loops over the content of SR1) - Reading SR2 directly is possible - Only writing SR1 zeroes SR2. One problem with the current implementation, is that it only focuses on the QE bit. A quad_enable function was created for each case, even though in practice, the logic was always the same: read, modify, write, read back and verify. One problem comes when other features need to play with the status registers, like software block protection or OTP: you never know how to properly handle the QE bit, nor where it is, nor how to read/write the Status registers. This lead to approximations/guessing (in swp.c, otp.c and obviously in legacy controller drivers like atmel.c) but also to the implementation of a gazillon of helpers for reading/writing/checking the status registers. In addition, I believe some design decisions had a negative impact over the years. - All possible situations had to be flagged by the core. This is likely wrong, because we no longer know why we need specific quirks. It was ineherent to the state of the SPI NOR core before the great cleanup that had happened the past few years. I believe this creates confusion in the core today, and we should push this to vendor fixups instead. As an example, in 2023 Hsin-Yi was facing an issue because his chip was setting the wrong QER value, leading to RDCR being prevented, thus falling into a condition blindly setting a random QE bit (I strongy believe it is done like that for wrong reasons). His chip actually had RDCR support! The correct fix should have been to mark the capability in a device fixup instead of handling this in the core. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAJMQK-hR0eaO0b4Vd0U8_KAndLyZapqdHjVLAoe42rWi9rdLkA@mail.gmail.com/ - SFDP parsing is over cautious. I believe BFPT_DWORD15_QER_SR2_BIT1_NO_RD is abusive (nothing states that RDCR is not supported), and BFPT_DWORD15_QER_SR2_BIT1 is also out of specification when forcing 16-bit Status writes. - SNOR_F_HAS_16BIT_SR is only imposing 16bit Status writes, whereas reads can still be 8-bit wide. - The usage of helpers verifying the writes was also spread for IMHO no really good reason. Why shouldn't we trust spi operations when it comes to Status Registers? We do not read back our page reads, so why status registers should be treated with so much care, if it's not because we are unsure of what is being done? My proposal includes a check when it comes to the QE bit (done once) but we don't need these checks otherwise. If the QE bit was written properly, there are high chances that the other register accesses will just be fine, no? Asde from my main quest, I also observed no good reason to ask the read/write status register callers to use nor->bouncebuf while the low-level helpers could do it themselves (we are talking about one or two bytes being copied). So after these observations, my proposal is the following: - Create private low level helpers that just read or write a status register. They are flexible, we can give the opcode (which varies based on the SFDP QER field) and the length (1 or 2). - Create public generic accessors which will be used to read/write sr1 and/or sr2. This is where all the cleverness shall be. The helpers use the available opcodes for a given chip in order to fullfill the request. - Provide a single generic ->quad_enable() hook which generically does all the steps mentioned above (read, modify, write, read back and verify). - Create a list of opcodes for all 6 possible situations: {read, write} {sr1, sr2, sr1 and sr2}. These opcodes are filled/cleared based on the QER field. An opcode set to 0 indicates the absence of support (there is no 0x00 opcode in SPI NOR). I tried my best to analyze the current behavior and to mimic it as much as possible, but this is a risky cleanup. However, if we go for this, it will be *much* easier in the future to handle all kind of chip variations. We won't be limited to a couple of flags anymore, but rather we'll be able to just disable a read or write capability using a single line. Known deviations: - The Atmel manufacturer driver drives non SFDP chips which by default were receiving the HAS_16B_WR flag, forcing SR2 writes all the times, but it was deliberately making single bytes writes to SR1 for its locking operations. The flag is likely wrong for them, so I removed it. - I am proposing on purpose a single quad_enable helper. It should match all the cases, with 1 identified difference which I believe is harmless: in the SR2_BIT7 case, the helper would make an extra SR1 read/write which was not done before. This entry explicitly supports reading and writing the two registers. Note: no manufacturer has been identified to actually use that entry yet.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd: "Mostly the usual clk driver updates and new SoC additions plus non-critical data fixes for things that weren't used yet. One thing that's new here in the core is SSC spread spectrum support (SSC) in the clk provider API. The idea is that DT authors will configure SSC for certain clks and they'll be configured at clk provider registration time or when a consumer device is probed, similar to how we handle assigned clk rates or parents. On the clk driver side we have Qualcomm adding almost half the diff because they add support for 4 different SoCs and then a long tail of other SoCs like Mediatek, Renesas, Rockchip, SpaceMiT, etc. add more SoC support this time around. Luckily it's mostly clk data for these new SoCs because the actual clk_ops are already there. Beyond the new drivers we get all the little fixups for more compilation coverage or usage of more modern APIs. That all looks normal. Finally, I kinda buried the lede, I'm bringing on Brian and Jerome to help out with maintaining the clk subsystem. The current working model is already semi-distributed in that silicon vendors typically take care of their drivers and send me pull requests but I'm becoming a bottleneck for new drivers and core framework review because this has become a 100% volunteer effort on my part. Mike is stepping down after all these years (thanks Mike!) and that jump started the conversation around finding co-maintainers. Brian and Jerome have graciously offered to help me with the work load, meaning in the future they'll be sending pull requests and committing directly to the clk.git tree. They've both been around on the list for a while, I've met them both in person, and they've been making changes to the core clk framework along with helping review patches so I'm pretty confident this will work well.

14 dayspower: sequencing: rename pwrseq_power_on/off() to pwrseq_enable/disable()Bartosz Golaszewski
The way power sequencing works means that a call to pwrseq_power_on() does not necessarily result in the pwrseq target being powered-on at that time: it may have already been powered on before. Similarly: a call to pwrseq_power_off() does not have to result in an actual powering off of resources: there may still be other users that requested a power-on before. We will also introduce the concept of "non-controllable" pwrseq targets soon which further increases the disconnect between the naming convention and the actual semantics. What consumers of pwrseq descriptors actually do is: they *vote* for a powering on of a given target or retract that vote. These operations could be called get/put in line with runtime PM but this could become confusing since we already provide pwrseq_get/put() for a different purpose. pwrseq_vote_on/off() also have been rejected as unusual in the tree. Change the name of the two functions to pwrseq_enable/disable() which better reflects their purpose and semantics and also mirrors other enable-counted resources like regulators and clocks. No functional change intended. If at any point users need to know *when* the exact power event happens, we can provide that information in the form of a notifier.

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust... Core & protocols: - A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence: - per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g. veth, ipvlan, tunnels) - rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE) - prepare software drivers and TC qdiscs for rtnl_lock-less GET - Support BIG TCP (>64kB TSO) in UDP tunnels (vxlan, geneve) - Support buffers larger than PAGE_SIZE in devmem zero-copy API - Improve MPTCP handling of extreme memory pressure handling, when out-of-order queue had to be pruned - Report the per-group user count via RTM_GETMULTICAST - Expose the route deletion reason in RTM_DELROUTE - Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages: instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot - IPv6 Segment Routing - support looking up the post-encap SID (address) in a different/specified routing table - Support PRP RedBox (interlink) creation - Support per-nexthop UDP dst port in VXLAN - Continue converting getsockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter Ethernet: -

2026-08-11dpll: use pin owner's dpll ref for pin-level attribute settingIvan Vecera
Pin-level attributes (frequency, phase adjust, embedded sync, reference sync) are properties of the pin itself, not of a particular DPLL device. The get callbacks already use only the pin owner's DPLL reference (via dpll_pin_own_dpll_ref_first()), but the set callbacks iterate over all registered DPLL references and invoke the set operation on each one. This is redundant because a pin is a single physical entity - setting its frequency or phase adjust once through the owner's ops is sufficient. Calling set on every registered DPLL just results in duplicate HW writes for drivers that share a pin across multiple DPLL devices (e.g. ice registers each input pin with both the EEC and PPS DPLL, zl3073x registers input pins with every DPLL channel). Simplify dpll_pin_freq_set(), dpll_pin_esync_set(), dpll_pin_ref_sync_state_set() and dpll_pin_phase_adj_set() to call the set callback only through the owner's DPLL reference, matching the existing get-side behavior. This removes the xa_for_each iteration loops, the now-unnecessary rollback logic, and several local variables. The -EOPNOTSUPP validation loop, which checked ops support across all owner-matching references, is replaced with a direct check on the single owner reference returned by dpll_pin_own_dpll_ref_first(). The documentation in dpll.rst is updated to reflect that pin-level attributes are set through the pin owner's dpll reference only. No existing driver is affected: - ptp_ocp and mlx5 register each pin with a single DPLL. - ice registers input pins with two DPLLs (EEC and PPS) using identical ops and pin_priv; the set callbacks address the HW by pin index, not by DPLL, so the second call was a no-op. - zl3073x registers input pins with every DPLL channel; the set callbacks address HW by pin/ref ID regardless of DPLL. The ref_sync_set callback was the only one with per-channel behavior, addressed by the preceding patch.

2026-07-28clk: Add devm_clk_bulk_get_enable()Suraj Gupta
devm_clk_bulk_get_optional_enable() gets, prepares and enables a set of clocks with device-managed cleanup, but treats every clock as optional: a missing clock is silently returned as NULL instead of failing. Consumers that need a fixed set of mandatory clocks enabled for the lifetime of the device currently have to open-code devm_clk_bulk_get() followed by clk_bulk_prepare_enable(), which loses the managed disable on unbind, or fall back to per-clock devm_clk_get_enabled() calls. Add devm_clk_bulk_get_enable() as the non-optional counterpart. The underlying __devm_clk_bulk_get_enable() helper already supports the required (optional = false) path, so only export a thin wrapper for it.

Other than that driver removal, major things included in here are: - max310x serial driver updates and fixes - 8250 driver updates and rework in places to make it more "modern" - dts file updates - serial driver core tweaks and updates - vt code cleanups - vc_screen crash fixes - other minor driver updates and cleanups All of these have been in linux-next for well over a week with no reported issues" * tag 'tty-7.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (49 commits) serial: 8250_pci: Don't specify conflicting values to pci_device_id members vc_screen: fix null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier() during concurrent vcs_write serial: qcom_geni: Fix RX DMA stall when SE_DMA_RX_LEN_IN is zero vt: merge ucs_is_zero_width()/ucs_is_double_width() into ucs_get_width() serial: 8250: fix possible ISR soft lockup dt-bindings: serial: rs485: remove deprecated .txt binding stub serial: qcom-geni: trace: Add tracepoint support for Qualcomm GENI serial tty: serial: Use named initializers for arrays of i2c_device_data serial: 8250_dw: remove clock-notifier infrastructure serial: 8250_dw: unregister 8250 port if clk_notifier_register() fails amba/serial: amba-pl011: Bring back zx29 UART support serial: 8250: Add support for console flow control serial: 8250: Check LSR timeout on console flow control serial: 8250: Set cons_flow on port registration tty: serial: 8250: protect against NULL uart->port.dev in register arm64: dts: add support for A9 based Amlogic BY401 dt-bindings: arm: amlogic: add A311Y3 support serial: max310x: fix compile errors if CONFIG_SPI_MASTER is disabled serial: qcom-geni: Avoid probing debug console UART without console support serial: max310x: add comments for PLL limits ...
