Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Documentation: serial: move uart_ops documentation to the struct

While it's a lot of text, it always helps to keep it up to date when
it's by the source. (And not in a separate file.)

The documentation tooling also makes sure that all members of the
structure are documented. (If not, it complains loudly.)

Finally, there needs to be no comments inlined in the structure, so they
are dropped as they are superfluous now.

The compilation time of this header (tested with serial_core.c) didn't
change in my testing at all.

 uart_ops
 --------
 
-The uart_ops structure is the main interface between serial_core and the
-hardware specific driver.  It contains all the methods to control the
-hardware.
-
-  tx_empty(port)
-	This function tests whether the transmitter fifo and shifter
-	for the port described by 'port' is empty.  If it is empty,
-	this function should return TIOCSER_TEMT, otherwise return 0.
-	If the port does not support this operation, then it should
-	return TIOCSER_TEMT.
-
-	Locking: none.
-
-	Interrupts: caller dependent.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  set_mctrl(port, mctrl)
-	This function sets the modem control lines for port described
-	by 'port' to the state described by mctrl.  The relevant bits
-	of mctrl are:
-
-		- TIOCM_RTS	RTS signal.
-		- TIOCM_DTR	DTR signal.
-		- TIOCM_OUT1	OUT1 signal.
-		- TIOCM_OUT2	OUT2 signal.
-		- TIOCM_LOOP	Set the port into loopback mode.
-
-	If the appropriate bit is set, the signal should be driven
-	active.  If the bit is clear, the signal should be driven
-	inactive.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  get_mctrl(port)
-	Returns the current state of modem control inputs.  The state
-	of the outputs should not be returned, since the core keeps
-	track of their state.  The state information should include:
-
-		- TIOCM_CAR	state of DCD signal
-		- TIOCM_CTS	state of CTS signal
-		- TIOCM_DSR	state of DSR signal
-		- TIOCM_RI	state of RI signal
-
-	The bit is set if the signal is currently driven active.  If
-	the port does not support CTS, DCD or DSR, the driver should
-	indicate that the signal is permanently active.  If RI is
-	not available, the signal should not be indicated as active.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  stop_tx(port)
-	Stop transmitting characters.  This might be due to the CTS
-	line becoming inactive or the tty layer indicating we want
-	to stop transmission due to an XOFF character.
-
-	The driver should stop transmitting characters as soon as
-	possible.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  start_tx(port)
-	Start transmitting characters.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  throttle(port)
-	Notify the serial driver that input buffers for the line discipline are
-	close to full, and it should somehow signal that no more characters
-	should be sent to the serial port.
-	This will be called only if hardware assisted flow control is enabled.
-
-	Locking: serialized with .unthrottle() and termios modification by the
-	tty layer.
-
-  unthrottle(port)
-	Notify the serial driver that characters can now be sent to the serial
-	port without fear of overrunning the input buffers of the line
-	disciplines.
-
-	This will be called only if hardware assisted flow control is enabled.
-
-	Locking: serialized with .throttle() and termios modification by the
-	tty layer.
-
-  send_xchar(port,ch)
-	Transmit a high priority character, even if the port is stopped.
-	This is used to implement XON/XOFF flow control and tcflow().  If
-	the serial driver does not implement this function, the tty core
-	will append the character to the circular buffer and then call
-	start_tx() / stop_tx() to flush the data out.
-
-	Do not transmit if ch == '\0' (__DISABLED_CHAR).
-
-	Locking: none.
-
-	Interrupts: caller dependent.
-
-  stop_rx(port)
-	Stop receiving characters; the port is in the process of
-	being closed.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  enable_ms(port)
-	Enable the modem status interrupts.
-
-	This method may be called multiple times.  Modem status
-	interrupts should be disabled when the shutdown method is
-	called.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  break_ctl(port,ctl)
-	Control the transmission of a break signal.  If ctl is
-	nonzero, the break signal should be transmitted.  The signal
-	should be terminated when another call is made with a zero
-	ctl.
-
-	Locking: caller holds tty_port->mutex
-
-  startup(port)
-	Grab any interrupt resources and initialise any low level driver
-	state.  Enable the port for reception.  It should not activate
-	RTS nor DTR; this will be done via a separate call to set_mctrl.
-
-	This method will only be called when the port is initially opened.
-
-	Locking: port_sem taken.
-
-	Interrupts: globally disabled.
-
-  shutdown(port)
-	Disable the port, disable any break condition that may be in
-	effect, and free any interrupt resources.  It should not disable
-	RTS nor DTR; this will have already been done via a separate
-	call to set_mctrl.
-
-	Drivers must not access port->state once this call has completed.
-
-	This method will only be called when there are no more users of
-	this port.
-
-	Locking: port_sem taken.
-
-	Interrupts: caller dependent.
-
-  flush_buffer(port)
-	Flush any write buffers, reset any DMA state and stop any
-	ongoing DMA transfers.
-
-	This will be called whenever the port->state->xmit circular
-	buffer is cleared.
-
-	Locking: port->lock taken.
-
-	Interrupts: locally disabled.
-
-	This call must not sleep
-
-  set_termios(port,termios,oldtermios)
-	Change the port parameters, including word length, parity, stop
-	bits.  Update read_status_mask and ignore_status_mask to indicate
-	the types of events we are interested in receiving.  Relevant
-	termios->c_cflag bits are:
-
-		CSIZE
-			- word size
-		CSTOPB
-			- 2 stop bits
-		PARENB
-			- parity enable
-		PARODD
-			- odd parity (when PARENB is in force)
-		ADDRB
-			- address bit (changed through .rs485_config()).
-		CREAD
-			- enable reception of characters (if not set,
-			  still receive characters from the port, but
-			  throw them away.
-		CRTSCTS
-			- if set, enable CTS status change reporting
-		CLOCAL
-			- if not set, enable modem status change
-			  reporting.
-
-	Relevant termios->c_iflag bits are:
-
-		INPCK
-			- enable frame and parity error events to be
-			  passed to the TTY layer.
-		BRKINT / PARMRK
-			- both of these enable break events to be
-			  passed to the TTY layer.
-
-		IGNPAR
-			- ignore parity and framing errors
-		IGNBRK
-			- ignore break errors,  If IGNPAR is also
-			  set, ignore overrun errors as well.
-
-	The interaction of the iflag bits is as follows (parity error
-	given as an example):
-
-	=============== ======= ======  =============================
-	Parity error	INPCK	IGNPAR
-	=============== ======= ======  =============================
-	n/a		0	n/a	character received, marked as
-					TTY_NORMAL
-	None		1	n/a	character received, marked as
-					TTY_NORMAL
-	Yes		1	0	character received, marked as
-					TTY_PARITY
-	Yes		1	1	character discarded
-	=============== ======= ======  =============================

-	hardware supports hardware "soft" flow control.

-
-	Locking: caller holds tty_port->mutex
-
-  pm(port,state,oldstate)
-	Perform any power management related activities on the specified
-	port.  State indicates the new state (defined by
-	enum uart_pm_state), oldstate indicates the previous state.
-
-	This function should not be used to grab any resources.
-
-	This will be called when the port is initially opened and finally
-	closed, except when the port is also the system console.  This
-	will occur even if CONFIG_PM is not set.
-
-	Locking: none.

-
-	Locking: none.
-
-	Interrupts: caller dependent.
-
-  config_port(port,type)
-	Perform any autoconfiguration steps required for the port.  `type`
-	contains a bit mask of the required configuration.  UART_CONFIG_TYPE
-	indicates that the port requires detection and identification.
-	port->type should be set to the type found, or PORT_UNKNOWN if
-	no port was detected.
-
-	UART_CONFIG_IRQ indicates autoconfiguration of the interrupt signal,
-	which should be probed using standard kernel autoprobing techniques.
-	This is not necessary on platforms where ports have interrupts
