Sorry, previous version was missing some __init[data] attributes which were dropped in an intermediate stage. Here comes an updated patch:
<---snip--->
This major refactoring of the quite complex kgdb8250 configuration does the following:
- ensures that static configurations according to SERIAL_PORT_DFNS are always loaded first - tries to pull more accurate configuration via serial8250_get_port_def if simple-config is used - detects empty/invalid simple-configs - enforces KGDB_PORT_NUM <= SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS at kconfig level - removes kgdb8250_add_port and its hook in serial_core (calling serial8250_get_port_def in demand should provide us the same information)
You left powerpc-lite.patch broken with this change as it has multiple calls to kgdb8250_add_port()...
I see. But I wonder if there ever was a real need for these hooks (in 2.4 times?): If I look at bamboo_early_serial_map() e.g., I find it calling into early_serial_setup() which fills serial8250_ports[] - and that content is now retrieved via serial8250_get_port_def() when we parse the runtime or build-time provided parameters (port number & baudrate).
Of course. But now the kgdb8250_add_port() calls need to be removed.
