From: Vladimir Oltean vladimir.oltean@nxp.com Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 04:34:29 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: LS1021A has a FIFO size of 16 words, like LS1028A MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Prior to the commit that this one fixes, the FIFO size was derived from the read-only register LPUARTx_FIFO[TXFIFOSIZE] using the following formula:
TX FIFO size = 2 ^ (LPUARTx_FIFO[TXFIFOSIZE] - 1)
The documentation for LS1021A is a mess. Under chapter 26.1.3 LS1021A LPUART module special consideration, it mentions TXFIFO_SZ and RXFIFO_SZ being equal to 4, and in the register description for LPUARTx_FIFO, it shows the out-of-reset value of TXFIFOSIZE and RXFIFOSIZE fields as "011", even though these registers read as "101" in reality.
And when LPUART on LS1021A was working, the "101" value did correspond to "16 datawords", by applying the formula above, even though the documentation is wrong again (!!!!) and says that "101" means 64 datawords (hint: it doesn't).
So the "new" formula created by commit f77ebb241ce0 has all the premises of being wrong for LS1021A, because it relied only on false data and no actual experimentation.
Interestingly, in commit c2f448cff22a ("tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: add LS1028A support"), Michael Walle applied a workaround to this by manually setting the FIFO widths for LS1028A. It looks like the same values are used by LS1021A as well, in fact.
When the driver thinks that it has a deeper FIFO than it really has, getty (user space) output gets truncated.
Many thanks to Michael for pointing out where to look.
