Johan Hovold b1442c55ce serial: 8250: extend compile-test coverage 
Allow more drivers to be compile tested more easily, for example, when
doing subsystem-wide changes.

Verified on X86_64 as well as arm, powerpc and m68k with minimal configs
in order to catch missing implicit build dependencies.

This selects whether you want to include the driver for the standard
serial ports. The standard answer is Y. People who might say N
here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP
servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a
serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial
port for anything.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called 8250.
[WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using
non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will
be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted
in the future.]
BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by
the X window system, try running gpm first.
BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem)
under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require
proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows.
Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice,
modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports.
config SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS
bool "Support 8250_core.* kernel options (DEPRECATED)"
depends on SERIAL_8250
default y
help
In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to
accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and
8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if
anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to
keep the 8250_core.* options around until they revert the changes
they already did.
If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead.
If you did not notice yet and/or you have userspace from pre-3.7, it
is safe (and recommended) to say N here.
config SERIAL_8250_PNP
bool "8250/16550 PNP device support" if EXPERT
depends on SERIAL_8250 && PNP
default y
help
This builds standard PNP serial support. You may be able to
disable this feature if you only need legacy serial support.
config SERIAL_8250_16550A_VARIANTS
bool "Support for variants of the 16550A serial port"
depends on SERIAL_8250
default !X86
help
The 8250 driver can probe for many variants of the venerable 16550A
serial port. Doing so takes additional time at boot.
On modern systems, especially those using serial only for a simple
console, you can say N here.
config SERIAL_8250_FINTEK
bool "Support for Fintek F81216A LPC to 4 UART RS485 API"
depends on SERIAL_8250
help
Selecting this option will add support for the RS485 capabilities
of the Fintek F81216A LPC to 4 UART.
If this option is not selected the device will be configured as a
standard 16550A serial port.
If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE
bool "Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port"
depends on SERIAL_8250=y
select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
select SERIAL_EARLYCON
help
If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
system console (the system console is the device which receives all
kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
to that serial port.
Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
(/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options
to the kernel at boot time.)
If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
system console.
You can set that using a kernel command line option such as
"console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
"console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding
port is ready.
"earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
"earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
it will not only setup early console.
If unsure, say N.

This builds DMA support that can be used with 8250/16650
compatible UART controllers that support DMA signaling.
config SERIAL_8250_PCI

depends on SERIAL_8250 && PCI
default SERIAL_8250
help
This builds standard PCI serial support. You may be able to
disable this feature if you only need legacy serial support.
Saves about 9K.
Note that serial ports on NetMos 9835 Multi-I/O cards are handled
by the parport_serial driver, enabled with CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL.
config SERIAL_8250_EXAR
tristate "8250/16550 Exar/Commtech PCI/PCIe device support"
depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI

Say Y here to enable support for 16-bit PCMCIA serial devices,
including serial port cards, modems, and the modem functions of
multi-function Ethernet/modem cards. (PCMCIA- or PC-cards are
credit-card size devices often used with laptops.)
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called serial_cs.
If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_MEN_MCB

8250.nr_uarts
config SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED
bool "Extended 8250/16550 serial driver options"
depends on SERIAL_8250
help
If you wish to use any non-standard features of the standard "dumb"
driver, say Y here. This includes HUB6 support, shared serial
interrupts, special multiport support, support for more than the
four COM 1/2/3/4 boards, etc.
Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about serial driver options. If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS
bool "Support more than 4 legacy serial ports"
depends on SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED && !IA64
help
Say Y here if you have dumb serial boards other than the four
standard COM 1/2/3/4 ports. This may happen if you have an AST
FourPort, Accent Async, Boca (read the Boca mini-HOWTO, available
from <https://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>), or other custom
serial port hardware which acts similar to standard serial port
hardware. If you only use the standard COM 1/2/3/4 ports, you can
say N here to save some memory. You can also say Y if you have an
"intelligent" multiport card such as Digiboards, etc.

Some serial boards have hardware support which allows multiple dumb
serial ports on the same board to share a single IRQ. To enable
support for this in the serial driver, say Y here.
config SERIAL_8250_DETECT_IRQ
bool "Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe)"
depends on SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED
help
Say Y here if you want the kernel to try to guess which IRQ
to use for your serial port.
This is considered unsafe; it is far better to configure the IRQ in
a boot script using the setserial command.
If unsure, say N.
config SERIAL_8250_RSA
bool "Support RSA serial ports"
depends on SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED
help
Say Y here if you have a IODATA RSA-DV II/S ISA card and
would like to use its >115kbps speeds.
You will need to provide module parameter "probe_rsa", or boot-time
parameter 8250.probe_rsa with I/O addresses of this card then.

default y
help
This option replaces the "console=ttyO" argument with the matching
ttyS argument if the user did not specified it on the command line.
This ensures that the user can see the kernel output during boot
which he wouldn't see otherwise. The getty has still to be configured
for ttyS instead of ttyO regardless of this option.
This option is intended for people who "automatically" enable this
driver without knowing that this driver requires a different console=
argument. If you read this, please keep this option disabled and
instead update your kernel command line. If you prepare a kernel for a
distribution or other kind of larger user base then you probably want
to keep this option enabled. Otherwise people might complain about a
not booting kernel because the serial console remains silent in case
they forgot to update the command line.
