Instead of a flow control selection mechanism specifically for
8250, make this available for all debug UARTs. If the debug
UART supports waiting for CTS to be asserted, then this code
can be activated for terminals that need it.
We keep the defaults for EBSA110, Footbridge, Gemini and RPC
so that this still works as expected for these older platforms:
they assume that flow control shall be enabled for debug
prints.
I switch the location of the check for
ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_FLOW_CONTROL from the actual debug
UART drivers: the code would get compiled-out for 8250 and
Tegra unless their custom config (or passing -DFLOW_CONTROL
in the Tegra case) was not set. Instead this is conditional
at the three places where we print debug messages. The idea
is that debug UARTs can be implemented without this ifdef
boilerplate so they look cleaner, alas the ifdef has to be
somewhere.

This patch was triggered by a remark from Russell that
introducing a call to the waituart (needed to fix debug prints
on the Qualcomm platforms) was dangerous because in some cases
this will involve waiting for a modem CTS (clear to send)
signal, and debug messages would maybe not work on platforms
with no modem connected to the UART port: they will just
hang waiting for the modem to assert CTS and this might never
happen.
Looking through all UART debug drivers implementing the waituart
macro I discovered that all users except two actually use this
macro to check if the UART is ready for TX, let's call this
TXRDY.
Only two debug UART drivers actually check for CTS:
- arch/arm/include/debug/8250.S
- arch/arm/include/debug/tegra.S
The former is very significant since the 8250 is possibly
the most common UART on the planet.
We have the following problem: the semantics of waituart are
ambiguous making it dangerous to introduce the macro to debug
code fixing debug prints for Qualcomm. To start to pry this
problem apart, this patch does the following:
- Convert all debug UART drivers to define two macros:
- waituartcts with the clear semantic to wait for CTS
to be asserted
- waituarttxrdy with the clear semantic to wait for the TX
capability of the UART to be ready
- When doing this take care to assign the right function to
each drivers macro, so they now do exactly the above.
- Update the three sites in the kernel invoking the waituart
macro to call waituartcts/waituarttxrdy in sequence, so that
the functional impact on the kernel should be zero.
After this we can start to change the code sites using this
code to do the right thing.

If the 8250 debug code is used in word mode on an big endian
host then the writes need to be change into little endian for
the bus.
Note, we have to re-convert the value back as the debug code
will inspect the value after writing it to see if a newline
has been written.

Now that the 8250 debug include can stand alone without requiring
platforms to provide any macros, move it into the debug directory
so it can be directly included. This allows us to get rid of a lot
of debug-macros include files.
