space range per channel, but rather the unshifted range. The
shifting depends on the bus. The hardcoded shift was specific
to the SBus on sparc64. The shifted range is now determined at
run-time. This fixes the mac-io attachment.
mac-io bus, we cannot setup FAST interrupt handlers. This because we
use spinlocks to protect the hardware and all interrupt resources are
assigned the same interrupt handler. When the interrupt handler is
invoked for interrupt X, it could be preempted for interrupt Y while
it was holding the lock (where X and Y are the interrupt resources
corresponding a single instance of this driver). This is a deadlock.
By only using a MPSAFE handler in that case we prevent preemption.
a different register shift and is fed by a different clock than
we use for UltraSPARC hardware. To deal with this, the regshft and
rclk fields in the class structure are removed and bus frontends
now pass the right regshft and rclk to the probe function where
they're put in the BAS and passed in to subordinate drivers.
controllers typically have multiple channels and support a number
of serial communications protocols. The scc(4) driver is itself
an umbrella driver that delegates the control over each channel
and mode to a subordinate driver (like uart(4)).
The scc(4) driver supports the Siemens SAB 82532 and the Zilog
Z8530 and replaces puc(4) for these devices.
