Sigh, I am afraid that this is not enough.
I double checked how "ma35d1serial_console" was used. I guess
that it could get registered also via the generic uart device
driver code. I see the following:
#ifdef CONFIG_SERIAL_NUVOTON_MA35D1_CONSOLE
[...]
#define MA35D1SERIAL_CONSOLE (&ma35d1serial_console)
#else
#define MA35D1SERIAL_CONSOLE NULL
#endif
static struct uart_driver ma35d1serial_reg = {
[...]
.cons = MA35D1SERIAL_CONSOLE,
[...]
};
static int __init ma35d1serial_init(void)
{
[...]
ret = uart_register_driver(&ma35d1serial_reg);
[...]
ret = platform_driver_register(&ma35d1serial_driver);
[...]
}
And the gneric code:
uart_configure_port(struct uart_driver *drv, struct uart_state *state,
struct uart_port *port)
{
[...]
/*
* If this driver supports console, and it hasn't been
* successfully registered yet, try to re-register it.
* It may be that the port was not available.
*/
if (port->cons && !console_is_registered(port->cons))
register_console(port->cons);
[...]
}
, which can called via from:
+ mux_probe()
+ uart_add_one_port()
+ serial_ctrl_register_port()
+serial_core_register_port()
+ serial_core_add_one_port()
+ uart_configure_port()
+ register_console()
Honestly, I am not 100% sure. The struct console is assigned to
.cons in struct uart_driver. And uart_configure_port() function
passes port->cons from struct uart_port *port. But I believe
that they can get assigned somewhere in the maze of
the init/probe code.
I would feel more comfortable if we kept the information as
as flag in struct console so that even the generic callbacks
could use it.
Anyway, it makes sense to create a sepate flag for this
purpose, e.g. CON_FORCE or CON_FORCE_ENABLE.
