Thanks for your advice.

Hi,

I'll not note all things below because others have already seemingly
commented many things.

This adds UART and console driver for Nuvoton ma35d1 Soc.

Drop the case.
I  will fix it.
I meant "cast" in case it wasn't obvious.


I know that, thank you.

Don't do this in driver, the core handles the delay limits. You don't seem
to be using the value anyway for anything???

Please separate the RS485 support into its own patch.

OK, we will remove RS485 support from this initial patch.
Once this initial patch was merged, we will submit the patch for RS485
support.
You could do that but you could just as well include it into the same
series as another patch after the main patch.

+ (serial_in(p, UART_FUN_SEL) & ~FUN_SEL_MASK));
+

+ serial_out(p, UART_FUN_SEL,
+ (serial_in(p, UART_FUN_SEL) | FUN_SEL_RS485));
Does this pair of serial_out()s glitch the RS485 line if ->rs485_config()
is called while RS485 mode is already set?

Why you need to do serial_in() from the UART_FUN_SEL twice?
UART_FUN_SEL (2 bits) definition:
00 - UART function
01 - IrDA function
11 - RS485 function

The first searial_in() is used to clear set as UART function.
The second one is used to set RS485 function if SER_RS485_ENABLED is true.
I got that, but it doesn't answer either of my questions which are:

Can you clear the UART function without causing a glitch in the RS485?
->rs485_config() can be called while already in RS485 mode so does it
cause the UART to temporarily switch away from RS485 mode to "UART
function" until the second write.

Also, you didn't explain why you need to read the register again, does
the HW play with other bits when you do the clearing or to they remain
the same (in which case you can just use a temporary variable to store
the value)? ...It would be better to just write once too so this question
might not matter in the end.


Thank you for the detailed explanation.

OK, the register won't change. I will modify the code to read once and write once only.

Just put error prints to one line if you don't break 100 chars limit.
But the checkpatch limitation is 80 characters.
No, it isn't. It was changed years ago already.


I have a test on the checkpatch script.

You are right. It won't complain about over 80 characters now.
