NAME
uartp8250 – portable 8250–style uarts

SYNOPSIS
#include "../port/uartp8250.h"
typedef struct Ctlr Ctlr;
struct Ctlr {
void *reg;
uint (*get)(void*, int);
void (*set)(void*, int, uint);
int    (*itr)(Uart*, int);
int    irq;
int    tbdf;
int    iena;
uchar       sticky[8];
Lock;
int    hasfifo;
int    checkfifo;
int    fena;
};

PhysUart p8250physuart;

void       i8250interrupt(Ureg*, void*);

DESCRIPTION
P8250 provides a portable interface for 8250–style uarts. All necessary functions are provided except for get, set, and itr. These functions get or set an 8250 register or enable or disable the interrupt, respectively. Since the PhysUart structure is required for device discovery, a dummy version needs to be provided
PhysUart myphysuart = {
.name= "myuart",
.pnp= mypnp,
};

On entry of the pnp function, the PhysUart can be filled out:
memmove(&myphysuart, &p8250physuart, sizeof(PhysUart));
myphysuart.name = "myuart";
myphysuart.pnp = mypnp;

as can the Ctlr structure, which is assigned to uart–>regs.

BUGS
The PhysUart is uncomfortable to use for device discovery.
