Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] serial: core: Add support for DEVNAME:0.0 style naming for kernel console
We can now add hardware based addressing for serial ports. Starting with
commit 84a9582fd203 ("serial: core: Start managing serial controllers to
enable runtime PM"), and all the related fixes to this commit, the serial
core now knows to which serial port controller the ports are connected.
The serial ports can be addressed with DEVNAME:0.0 style naming. The names
are something like 00:04:0.0 for a serial port on qemu, and something like
2800000.serial:0.0 on platform device using systems like ARM64 for example.
The DEVNAME is the unique serial port hardware controller device name, AKA
the name for port->dev. The 0.0 are the serial core controller id and port
id.
Typically 0.0 are used for each controller and port instance unless the
serial port hardware controller has multiple controllers or ports.
Using DEVNAME:0.0 style naming actually solves two long term issues for
addressing the serial ports:
1. According to Andy Shevchenko, using DEVNAME:0.0 style naming fixes an
issue where depending on the BIOS settings, the kernel serial port ttyS
instance number may change if HSUART is enabled
2. Device tree using architectures no longer necessarily need to specify
aliases to find a specific serial port, and we can just allocate the
ttyS instance numbers dynamically in whatever probe order
To do this, let's match the hardware addressing style console name to
the character device name used, and add a preferred console using the
character device name.
