Subject: [PATCH V8 0/2] serial/uart/8250: Introduce tunable RX trigger I/F

Hi Greg,

This patch set introduces tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F for 8250 serials.
I just split V7's patch up into 2 patches, and all functions are not changed
from previous version. V6 patch was reviewed by Stephen Warren and acked, 
but I removed the 'Reviewed-by' for this patch set just in case.

Thanks!

<Change log>

Changed in V2:
 - Use _IOW for TIOCSFIFORTRIG definition
 - Pass the interrupt trigger value itself

Changes in V3:
 - Change I/F from ioctl(2) to sysfs(rx_int_trig)

Changes in V4:
 - Introduce fifo_bug flag in uart_8250_port structure
   This is enabled only when parity is enabled and UART_BUG_PARITY is enabled
   for up->bugs. If this flag is enabled, user cannot set RX trigger.
 - Return -EOPNOTSUPP when it does not support device at convert_fcr2val() and
   at convert_val2rxtrig()
 - Set the nearest lower RX trigger when users input a meaningless value at
   convert_val2rxtrig()
 - Check whether p->fcr is existing at serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos()
 - Set fcr = up->fcr in the begging of serial8250_do_set_termios()

Changes in V5:
 - Support Tegra, 16650V2, 16654, and 16750
 - Store default FCR value to up->fcr when the port is first created
 - Add rx_trig_byte[] in uart_config[] for each device and use rx_trig_byte[]
   in convert_fcr2val() and convert_val2rxtrig()

Changes in V5.1:
 - Fix FCR_RX_TRIG_MAX_STATE definition

Changes in V6:
 - Move FCR_RX_TRIG_* definition in 8250.h to include/uapi/linux/serial_reg.h,
   rename those to UART_FCR_R_TRIG_*, and use UART_FCR_TRIGGER_MASK to
   UART_FCR_R_TRIG_BITS()
 - Change following function names:
    convert_fcr2val() => fcr_get_rxtrig_bytes()
    convert_val2rxtrig() => bytes_to_fcr_rxtrig()
 - Fix typo in serial8250_do_set_termios()
 - Delete the verbose error message pr_info() in bytes_to_fcr_rxtrig()
 - Rename *rx_int_trig/rx_trig* to *rxtrig* for several functions or variables
   (but UI remains rx_int_trig)
 - Change the meaningless variable name 'val' to 'bytes' following functions:
    fcr_get_rxtrig_bytes(), bytes_to_fcr_rxtrig(), do_set_rxtrig(),
    do_serial8250_set_rxtrig(), and serial8250_set_attr_rxtrig()
 - Use up->fcr in order to get rxtrig_bytes instead of rx_trig_raw in
   fcr_get_rxtrig_bytes()
 - Use conf_type->rxtrig_bytes[0] instead of switch statement for support check
   in register_dev_spec_attr_grp()
 - Delete the checking whether a user changed FCR or not when minimum buffer
   is needed in serial8250_do_set_termios()

Changes in V7:
 - Add Documentation
 - Change I/F name from rx_int_trig to rx_trig_bytes because the name
   rx_int_trig is hard to understand how users specify the value

Changes in V8:
 - Split V7's patch up into 2 patches
