Merge tag 'tty-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty
Pull tty / serial updates from Greg KH: "Here is a small set of tty and serial driver updates for 6.11-rc1. Not much happened this cycle, unlike the previous kernel release which had lots of "excitement" in this part of the kernel. Included in here are the following changes: - dt binding updates for new platforms - 8250 driver updates - various small serial driver fixes and updates - printk/console naming and matching attempt #2 (was reverted for 6.10-final, should be good to go this time around, acked by the relevant maintainers). All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'tty-6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (22 commits) Documentation: kernel-parameters: Add DEVNAME:0.0 format for serial ports serial: core: Add serial_base_match_and_update_preferred_console() printk: Add match_devname_and_update_preferred_console() serial: sc16is7xx: hardware reset chip if reset-gpios is defined in DT dt-bindings: serial: sc16is7xx: add reset-gpios dt-bindings: serial: vt8500-uart: convert to json-schema serial: 8250_platform: Explicitly show we initialise ISA ports only once tty: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros dt-bindings: serial: mediatek,uart: add MT7988 serial: sh-sci: Add support for RZ/V2H(P) SoC dt-bindings: serial: Add documentation for Renesas RZ/V2H(P) (R9A09G057) SCIF support dt-bindings: serial: renesas,scif: Make 'interrupt-names' property as required dt-bindings: serial: renesas,scif: Validate 'interrupts' and 'interrupt-names' dt-bindings: serial: renesas,scif: Move ref for serial.yaml at the end riscv: dts: starfive: jh7110: Add the core reset and jh7110 compatible for uarts serial: 8250_dw: Use reset array API to get resets dt-bindings: serial: snps-dw-apb-uart: Add one more reset signal for StarFive JH7110 SoC serial: 8250: Extract platform driver serial: 8250: Extract RSA bits serial: imx: stop casting struct uart_port to struct imx_port ...

+ <DEVNAME>:<n>.<n>[,options]
+ Use the specified serial port on the serial core bus.
+ The addressing uses DEVNAME of the physical serial port
+ device, followed by the serial core controller instance,
+ and the serial port instance. The options are the same
+ as documented for the ttyS addressing above.
+
+ The mapping of the serial ports to the tty instances
+ can be viewed with:
+
+ $ ls -d /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/*:*.*/tty/*
+ /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/00:04:0.0/tty/ttyS0
+
+ In the above example, the console can be addressed with
+ console=00:04:0.0. Note that a console addressed this
+ way will only get added when the related device driver
+ is ready. The use of an earlycon parameter in addition to
+ the console may be desired for console output early on.
