Hello,

this series adds drivers for the UART and ACM controllers found in the
Espressif ESP32 and ESP32S3 SoCs.

Changes v3->v4:
- address review comments, listed in each patch
- add reviewed-by tags

Changes v2->v3:
- address review comments, listed in each patch

Changes v1->v2:
- address review comments, listed in each patch
- add cleanup for the uart_get_baud_rate function

While looking into this, I found this old commit:

commit 16ae2a877bf4179737921235e85ceffd7b79354f
Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Date:   Mon Jan 4 16:26:21 2010 +0000

    serial: Fix crash if the minimum rate of the device is > 9600 baud
    
    In that situation if the old rate is invalid and the new rate is invalid
    and the chip cannot do 9600 baud we report zero, which makes all the
    drivers explode.
    
    Instead force the rate based on min/max

But for some reason it does not work as advertized here? What is the exact 
cause for that?

Is something wrong with how min/max have that +1/-1 there or what?

In my case I see that tty_termios_encode_baud_rate() is called with
ibaud == obaud == 9769, but it finds the closest rate 9600, which is
within 2% of the actual minimum, but is outside the min/max range
supported by the hardware.

This doesn't match up with the patch contents anymore :(

I don't understand this driver, "ACM" is a USB host <-> gadget protocol,
why do you need a platform serial driver for this?

Why "or later"?  I have to ask, sorry.

And no copyright information?  That's fine, but be sure your company's
lawyers are ok with it...

There is already a ttyACM driver in the kernel, will this conflict with
that one?  And are you using the same major/minor numbers for it as
well?  If so, how is this going to work?

Do you have to have empty functions for callbacks that do nothing?

Why are these defines needed?  What in userspace is going to require
them?  If nothing, please do not add them.

The USB part of this piece of hardware is fixed and not controllable, so
all we have is a very limited UART interface. But to the outside world
it's a USB device with the CDC-ACM interface.

I don't really have a preference here. Is there a reason to choose
GPL-2.0 only for a new code?

There's no company behind this, just myself.

I'll rename it to ttyS. I see that it coexists with the other driver that calls
its devices ttyS just fine.

The serial core has unconditional calls to these callbacks.

I don't understand what the alternatives are. The comment for the
uart_ops::config_port() callback says that port->type should be set
to the type of the port found, and I see that almost every serial driver
defines a unique PORT_* for that.

Where is the "outside world" here?  The other end of the tty connection?
So this is a "ACM gadget"?  If so, please try to use that term as that's
what we use in the kernel to keep things straight.

It's your call, you need to pick that, but I can provide recommendations
if you want :)

Great.  But if you are going to be like a ACM gadget, use ttyGS like
that driver does?

Ah, good catch, maybe we should fix up the serial core.

Yes, but not all do.  If you don't need to do anything special, it can
just claim to be a normal device, we've had threads about this on the
list before.  If you don't need to determine in userspace from the tty
connection what device it is, just use the default one instead.

If I don't have to I'd rather not. This is just a piece of meaningless noise.

Ok, it looks like having

#define PORT_ESP32ACM (-1)

in the driver source should be ok? I've tested that it works.

If you only want your code being used in Linux, then stick with
"GPL-2.0".  If you want your code to be able to be copied into other
GPLv3 licensed code bodies (like Hurd and others), then license it as
"GPL-2.0-or-later".  Your call.

You already own the copyright by virtue of creating the code (you can't
give it away), so might as well put your mark on it to make it more
noticable.  But it's not required, if you don't want to, no one can
force you, again, your call.

Hah, I like that hack.  But why not just use PORT_UNKNOWN?

Thanks. From that point of view I prefer GPL-2.0-or-later.

A lot of functionality doesn't work with PORT_UNKNOWN, e.g.
console or modem control.
I've got the idea of using -1 from this email:

Ok, we should encode this as a "real" number, "PORT_ANY" and set it to
-1 and let all new devices use it.

Yes, that's the default license for the kernel. So you should have a
reason for picking something else. Like maybe you copied all this from
somewhere else and that was the license.
