[PATCH] serial: apbuart: Let boards without apbuart boot

From: Anton Vorontsov
Date: Fri May 14 2010 - 10:20:00 EST


This patch fixes the following oops:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc016dea8
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
P1020 RDB

There's no apbuart on P1020 boards, and what's worse, there's no
clock-frequency property for it. The driver didn't handle this
case, which resulted in the oops above. Once we fix this, the
next oops pops up:

Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000030
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0166ecc
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

[c033fff0] [c0000398] skpinv+0x2b0/0x2ec

And that one is because the driver tries to register the console
even if there were no matches in grlib_apbuart_configure().

While at it, also annotate grlib_apbuart_configure() with __init,
that fixes several section mismatches:

Section mismatch in reference from the function
grlib_apbuart_configure() to the variable .init.data:apbuart_match
The function grlib_apbuart_configure() references the variable
__initdata apbuart_match.
