I don't think big-endian has the same context as reg-shift/reg-offset.
The "big-endian" is about how the byte addresses are laid out, so the context is the same -- in this case, it would determine where each UART register is located within the address stride specified by "reg-shift". It'll alwaay be at offset 0 or (2 << reg-shift) - 1 (unless some vendor goes and implements something with "middle-endian" layout of course :-)
The OpenPOC is fundamentally a 32 bit device, but ns16550 is not... If
So what?
we were talking about a 32 bit device, then I'd probably agree with you,
There are 16550 clones that *are* 32-bit.
but in this case, the reg-shift
I'm not arguing about "reg-shift" already -- look like it's been spec'ed. :-)
(and to some extent) reg-offset have been used before and probably make more sense, I think.
The "reg-offset" has been used before? Where?
