Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

This change adds a driver for the 16550-based Aspeed virtual UART device. We use a similar process to the of_serial driver for device probe, but expose some VUART-specific functions through sysfs too. The VUART is two UART 'front ends' connected by their FIFO (no actual serial line in between). One is on the BMC side (management controller) and one is on the host CPU side. This driver is for the BMC side. The sysfs files allow the BMC userspace, which owns the system configuration policy, to specify at what IO port and interrupt number the host side will appear to the host on the Host <-> BMC LPC bus. It could be different on a different system (though most of them use 3f8/4). OpenPOWER host firmware doesn't like it when the host-side of the VUART's FIFO is not drained. This driver only disables host TX discard mode when the port is in use. We set the VUART enabled bit when we bind to the device, and clear it on unbind. We don't want to do this on open/release, as the host may be using this bit to configure serial output modes, which is independent of whether the devices has been opened by BMC userspace.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
