Merge tag 'tty-4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty
Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big tty/serial driver patchset for 4.11-rc1. Not much here, but a lot of little fixes and individual serial driver updates all over the subsystem. Majority are for the sh-sci driver and platform (the arch-specific changes have acks from the maintainer). The start of the "serial bus" code is here as well, but nothing is converted to use it yet. That work is still ongoing, hopefully will start to show up across different subsystems for 4.12 (bluetooth is one major place that will be used.) All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'tty-4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (109 commits) tty: pl011: Work around QDF2400 E44 stuck BUSY bit atmel_serial: Use the fractional divider when possible tty: Remove extra include in HVC console tty framework serial: exar: Enable MSI support serial: exar: Move register defines from uapi header to consumer site serial: pci: Remove unused pci_boards entries serial: exar: Move Commtech adapters to 8250_exar as well serial: exar: Fix feature control register constants serial: exar: Fix initialization of EXAR registers for ports > 0 serial: exar: Fix mapping of port I/O resources serial: sh-sci: fix hardware RX trigger level setting tty/serial: atmel: ensure state is restored after suspending serial: 8250_dw: Avoid "too much work" from bogus rx timeout interrupt serdev: ttyport: check whether tty_init_dev() fails serial: 8250_pci: make pciserial_detach_ports() static ARM: dts: STiH410-b2260: Enable HW flow-control ARM: dts: STiH407-family: Use new Pinctrl groups ARM: dts: STiH407-pinctrl: Add Pinctrl group for HW flow-control ARM: dts: STiH410-b2260: Identify the UART RTS line dt-bindings: serial: Update 'uart-has-rtscts' description ...

+Serial Slave Device DT binding
+
+This documents the binding structure and common properties for serial
+attached devices. Common examples include Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC and GPS
+devices.
+
+Serial attached devices shall be a child node of the host UART device the
+slave device is attached to. It is expected that the attached device is
+the only child node of the UART device. The slave device node name shall
+reflect the generic type of device for the node.
+
+Required Properties:
+
+- compatible : A string reflecting the vendor and specific device the node
+ represents.
+
+Optional Properties:
+
+- max-speed : The maximum baud rate the device operates at. This should
+ only be present if the maximum is less than the slave device
+ can support. For example, a particular board has some signal
+ quality issue or the host processor can't support higher
+ baud rates.
+
+Example:
+
+serial@1234 {
+ compatible = "ns16550a";
+ interrupts = <1>;
+
+ bluetooth {
+ compatible = "brcm,bcm43341-bt";
+ interrupt-parent = <&gpio>;
+ interrupts = <10>;
+ };
+};
