There are at least four types of Maxlinear/Exar USB UARTs which differ in various ways such as in their register layouts: XR21V141X XR21B142X XR21B1411 XR22804 It is not clear whether the device type can be inferred from the descriptors so encode it in the device-id table for now. Add a type structure that can be used to abstract the register layout and other features, and use it when accessing the XR21V141X UART registers that are shared by all types. Note that the currently supported XR21V141X type is the only type that has a set of UART Manager registers and that these will need to be handled specifically. Similarly, XR21V141X is the only type which has the divisor registers and that needs to use the format register when configuring the line settings. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
