Subject: PATCH] Perle multimodem card (PCI-RAS) detection, kernel 2.6.18
Hi there,
this patch is to get the Perle quad-modem PCI card (PCI-RAS4) detected by
current serial driver code in 2.6 kernel. It may also get the PCI-RAS8
(Perle 8-port modem PIC card) running, but I can't guarantee as I only
have a PCI-RAS4 for testing.
Here are the pci infos about the card (lspci -vn):
0000:02:07.0 0700: 10b5:9030 (prog-if 02)
Subsystem: 155f:f001
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
Memory at d0100400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
I/O ports at 3800 [size=128]
I/O ports at 3400 [size=32]
i.e.:
Vendor ID: 10b5 (PLX Technology, Inc.)
Device ID: 9030 (PLX PCI <-> IOBus Bridge Hot Swap)
Subvendor ID: 155f (Perle Systems Ltd)
Subdevice ID: f001 (PCI-RAS4), f010 (PCI-RAS8)
Uses BAR: 2 (IO port 0x3400)
The PCI card has a TI TL16C754BPN (Texas Instruments) Quad-UART with 64 Byte
Rx/Tx-FIFO onboard, which is compatible to ST16654 so it should be detected
by the serial driver code.
Actually the autoconf() in 8250.c bails out because the IER test fails.
It turns out that bit 4 is set on my card regardless what is written to IER.
Looking in the TL16C754B datasheet gives the clue that EFR is involved
(see http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tl16c754b.html, pdf p.30):
"NOTE: IER[7:4] can only be modified if EFR[4] is set, i.e. EFR[4] is a write
enable:". So I and'ed the IER read-back-value in scratch2 and scratch3 with
0x0f in order to test only bit 0-3 (but I'm not sure if that is fine for
general case). Whith that UART type ST16654 is found.
It was also neccessary to add vendor/device ID's for PLX chip 9030 and Perles
subsystem components in pci_ids.h.
The "(Maximum) number of 8250/16550 serial ports" in the kernel config should
also be set properly (4 internal + 4/8 on Perle card).
Would be glad if someone could test and confirm the patch below.
