i.MX6ULL驱动开发 | 15 - Linux UART 驱动框架

Posted 2022-04-17 Mculover666

Linux UART 驱动框架比较简单，不需要设备驱动，只需要UART设备驱动即可。

一、Linux UART驱动框架

1. uart_driver结构体

Linux将 UART 驱动抽象为 uart_driver结构体，定义在include/linux/serial_core.h文件中，如下：

struct uart_driver 
	struct module		*owner;
	const char		*driver_name;
	const char		*dev_name;
	int			 major;
	int			 minor;
	int			 nr;
	struct console		*cons;

	/*
	 * these are private; the low level driver should not
	 * touch these; they should be initialised to NULL
	 */
	struct uart_state	*state;
	struct tty_driver	*tty_driver;
;

• owner：模块拥有者
• driver_name：驱动名称
• dev_name：设备名称
• major：主设备号
• minor：次设备号
• nr：设备数
• cons：控制台

uart_driver结构体注册/注销API如下。

（1）向内核注册uart_driver

int uart_register_driver(struct uart_driver *uart);

（2）从内核注销uart_driver

void uart_unregister_driver(struct uart_driver *uart);

2. uart_port结构体

uart_port用于表示一个具体的串口，也定义在该文件中，如下：

struct uart_port 
	spinlock_t		lock;			/* port lock */
	unsigned long		iobase;			/* in/out[bwl] */
	unsigned char __iomem	*membase;		/* read/write[bwl] */
	unsigned int		(*serial_in)(struct uart_port *, int);
	void			(*serial_out)(struct uart_port *, int, int);
	void			(*set_termios)(struct uart_port *,
				               struct ktermios *new,
				               struct ktermios *old);
	void			(*set_mctrl)(struct uart_port *, unsigned int);
	int			(*startup)(struct uart_port *port);
	void			(*shutdown)(struct uart_port *port);
	void			(*throttle)(struct uart_port *port);
	void			(*unthrottle)(struct uart_port *port);
	int			(*handle_irq)(struct uart_port *);
	void			(*pm)(struct uart_port *, unsigned int state,
				      unsigned int old);
	void			(*handle_break)(struct uart_port *);
	int			(*rs485_config)(struct uart_port *,
						struct serial_rs485 *rs485);
	unsigned int		irq;			/* irq number */
	unsigned long		irqflags;		/* irq flags  */
	unsigned int		uartclk;		/* base uart clock */
	unsigned int		fifosize;		/* tx fifo size */
	unsigned char		x_char;			/* xon/xoff char */
	unsigned char		regshift;		/* reg offset shift */
	unsigned char		iotype;			/* io access style */
	unsigned char		unused1;

	void			*private_data;		/* generic platform data pointer */
;

在uart_port中，ops成员中包含了具体的串口驱动函数，每个串口都有一个uart_port。

（1）向uart_driver添加一个uart_port：

int uart_add_one_port(struct uart_driver *reg, struct uart_port *port);

（2）从uart_driver中移除某个uart_port：

int uart_remove_one_port(struct uart_driver *reg, struct uart_port *port);

3. ops函数指针实现

Linux内核最终收发数据调用的都是ops中的函数，定义如下：

/*
 * This structure describes all the operations that can be done on the
 * physical hardware.  See Documentation/serial/driver for details.
 */
struct uart_ops 
	unsigned int	(*tx_empty)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*set_mctrl)(struct uart_port *, unsigned int mctrl);
	unsigned int	(*get_mctrl)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*stop_tx)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*start_tx)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*throttle)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*unthrottle)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*send_xchar)(struct uart_port *, char ch);
	void		(*stop_rx)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*enable_ms)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*break_ctl)(struct uart_port *, int ctl);
	int		(*startup)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*shutdown)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*flush_buffer)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*set_termios)(struct uart_port *, struct ktermios *new,
				       struct ktermios *old);
	void		(*set_ldisc)(struct uart_port *, struct ktermios *);
	void		(*pm)(struct uart_port *, unsigned int state,
			      unsigned int oldstate);

	/*
	 * Return a string describing the type of the port
	 */
	const char	*(*type)(struct uart_port *);

	/*
	 * Release IO and memory resources used by the port.
	 * This includes iounmap if necessary.
	 */
	void		(*release_port)(struct uart_port *);

	/*
	 * Request IO and memory resources used by the port.
	 * This includes iomapping the port if necessary.
	 */
	int		(*request_port)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*config_port)(struct uart_port *, int);
	int		(*verify_port)(struct uart_port *, struct serial_struct *);
	int		(*ioctl)(struct uart_port *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
#ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL
	int		(*poll_init)(struct uart_port *);
	void		(*poll_put_char)(struct uart_port *, unsigned char);
	int		(*poll_get_char)(struct uart_port *);
#endif
;

关于ops成员中每个函数指针的意义，可以参考文档：Documentation/serial/driver。

二、NXP对于UART驱动框架的实现

在设备树中找到uart3节点：

根据兼容性找对应的驱动文件：

grep -nR "fsl,imx21-uart" *

1. UART驱动的platform框架

（1）驱动模块的加载与卸载

可以看到，在驱动模块的加载函数中，调用 uart_register_driver 向内核注册 uart_driver，接着注册platform设备驱动。

在驱动模块的卸载中，首先注销platform设备驱动，然后从内核注销uart_driver。

（2）uart_driver驱动实现

（3）platform驱动框架实现

2. uart_port的添加/移除

在probe挂载函数中，经过一系列操作，最终调用 uart_add_one_port 函数添加了一个uart_port：

在remove卸载函数中，调用 uart_remove_one_port 函数移除对应的 uart_port：

这里添加和移除uart_port来自于imx定义的sport结构体，如下：

3. uart_pos函数指针实现

在probe函数中，对ops成员的初始化如下：

imx_pops的定义如下：

这其中的函数都是imx开头，是与底层SOC的UART外设相关操作函数，比如 imx_tx_empty 这个函数：
