PATCH v2 1/1 arm: aspeed: zaius: Disable LPC reset for UART1

Currently, UART1 on Zaius BMC is unusable until brought out of reset by powering the host on. In this reset state, ttyS0 can still be opened and UART1 silently drops bytes, which is not obviously expected behavior.

Clear the LPC block control bit that enables LPCRST# as a reset source for UART1.

I still don't follow. Is this changing it to drop bytes until the host powers on? Is this change making it so the device won't open?

I still don't follow.  Is this changing it to drop bytes until the host powers on?  Is this change making it so the device won't open?

I understand it to be the other way around:

In the existing configuration UART1 will drop bytes by being held in reset until the host initialises the LPC bus (i.e. releases LPCRST#) during boot.

Xo's change reconfigures the SoC so that UART1 reset state doesn't depend on LPCRST# (i.e. the host initialising the LPC bus), so it is immediately useful in that it won't discard bytes.

Xo?

Yes, what Andrew said. It releases UART1 from being controlled by LPC reset, so that it's available regardless of the host being up.

cheers

#4 lore raw

OK. I didn't get that from the commit message or comments as written.
