Hi Lubmir This is needs a bit closer examination. By the PXA maintainers. It appears there are two serial drivers, the 8250 and a PXA specific driver. Andrew

Well, for "mrvl,mmp-uart", there are three: SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM, SERIAL_8250_PXA and SERIAL_PXA: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_of.c: { .compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart", drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_pxa.c: { .compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart", }, drivers/tty/serial/pxa.c: { .compatible = "mrvl,mmp-uart", }, For that matter, the hardware is also compatible with intel,xscale-uart and the mrvl,mmp-uart compatible string is perhaps entirely unnecessary. I guess the story is somewhat similar for mrvl,pxa-uart; I can not verify though. I suppose SERIAL_PXA is not really needed at this point and if support for mrvl,pxa-uart was added to SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM, then SERIAL_8250_PXA would only be useful for platforms that don't use DT and the DT bits could be stripped from it eventually. That is -- if PXA maintainers agree, of course. > Andrew Regards Lubo

The PXA driver (serial/pxa.c) is already deprecated in favor of 8250_pxa.c. That was 3.5 years ago now, so maybe time to remove the old one. Rob

These ports are compatible with NS8250 and handled by the same driver. Get rid of the extra document that fails to document the properties that are actually supported.
