James Hogan c2d7ef51d7 ttyFDC: Implement KGDB IO operations.
Implement KGDB IO operations for MIPS Fast Debug Channel (FDC). This can
be enabled via Kconfig, which also allows the channel number to be
chosen.

The magic sysrq hack is implemented in the TTY driver, detecting just ^C
for the KGDB channel, and ^O followed by a letter for the FDC console
channel.

The KGDB operations are reasonably efficient thanks to the flush
callback, with a 4 byte buffer being used in both directions to allow up
to 4 bytes to be encoded per FDC word. Reading of data for KGDB will
discard any data received on other channels, which clearly isn't ideal,
but given that there is a single FIFO shared between channels we can't
do much better.

James Hogan e934945db7 MIPS, ttyFDC: Add early FDC console support
Add support for early console of MIPS Fast Debug Channel (FDC) on
channel 1 with a call very early from the MIPS setup_arch().

James Hogan 4cebec609a TTY: Add MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel TTY driver
Add TTY driver and consoles for the MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC),
which is found on the per-CPU MIPS Common Device Mapped Memory (CDMM)
bus.

The FDC is a per-CPU device which is used to communicate with an EJTAG
probe. RX and TX FIFOs exist, containing 32-bits of data and 4-bit
channel numbers. 16 general data streams are implemented on this for TTY
and console use by encoding up to 4 bytes on each 32-bit FDC word.

The TTY devices are named e.g. /dev/ttyFDC3c2 for channel 2 of the FDC
attached to logical CPU 3.

These can be used for getting the kernel log, a login prompt, or as a
GDB remote transport, all over EJTAG and without needing a serial port.

It can have an interrupt to notify of when incoming data is available in
the RX FIFO or when the TX FIFO is no longer full. The detection of this
interrupt occurs in architecture / platform code, but it may be shared
with the timer and/or performance counter interrupt.

Due to the per-CPU nature of the hardware, all outgoing TTY data is
written out from a kthread which is pinned to the appropriate CPU.

The console is not bound to a specific CPU, so output will appear on the
chosen channel on whichever CPU the code is executing on. Enable with
e.g. console=fdc1 in kernel arguments. /dev/console is bound to the same
channel on the boot CPU's FDC if it exists.
