Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 00/11] tty: xuartps: Rebranding

A second iteration of this series.

I added some more to the cleanup parts. The more you look at things the
more things to fix you find.

The read-modify-write refactoring is more or less a result of the prefix
substitution. With the changed prefix for better indentation is
necessary, and I think it makes the code more readably in general.

The controversial part, the re-branding: I split this up into 4 separate
patches, starting at 5/8. Each going a little further and I'd like to
know which ones are wanted/okay and which rather not. And whether the
wanted ones should be squashed.

The first one is pretty much the light-weight changes Alan suggested.

The second changes the driver name. I don't know if that is acceptable.
I think the name is used in some sysfs nodes. Does that make it part of
the userspace API? And I don't know if the name might be used elsewhere?

The third is mostly a search and replace of 'xuartps' with
'cdns-uart'. A noisy change but it should not impact anything else. I
thought it might be nice to have more generic names since they show in
stack traces and the xuartps thing may not be that meaningful on
non-Zynq platforms - though there is non for this driver as of now.

Similar the Kconfig symbol renaming. Probably not worth it, but might
clarify things a bit.

The defconfig update would - obviously - only needed if the Kconfig
change is done. Which is probably another reason to not change the
config symbol.

In the documentation I added xlnx,xuartps as valid compatible string,
but refrained from documenting the Zynq-specific clock names. The
driver, though, allows them, but prints a warning.

The DT update would silence the afore-mentioned warning by migrating to
the new clock names.

	Thanks,
	Sören
